bool SendCommand(const wxString& command, char ret)
Send the specified command to the FTP server. ret specifies the expected result.
Return value
TRUE if the command has been sent successfully, else FALSE.
const wxString& GetLastResult()
Returns the last command result.
bool ChDir(const wxString& dir)
Change the current FTP working directory. Returns TRUE if successful.
bool MkDir(const wxString& dir)
Create the specified directory in the current FTP working directory. Returns TRUE if successful.
bool RmDir(const wxString& dir)
Remove the specified directory from the current FTP working directory. Returns TRUE if successful.
wxString Pwd()
Returns the current FTP working directory.
bool Rename(const wxString& src, const wxString& dst)
Rename the specified src element to dst. Returns TRUE if successful.
bool RmFile(const wxString& path)
Delete the file specified by path. Returns TRUE if successful.
void SetUser(const wxString& user)
Sets the user name to be sent to the FTP server to be allowed to log in.
Default value
The default value of the user name is "anonymous".
Remark
This parameter can be included in a URL if you want to use the URL manager. For example, you can use: "ftp://a_user:a_password@a.host:service/a_directory/a_file" to specify a user and a password.
void SetPassword(const wxString& passwd)
Sets the password to be sent to the FTP server to be allowed to log in.
Default value
The default value of the user name is your email address. For example, it could be "username@userhost.domain". This password is built by getting the current user name and the host name of the local machine from the system.
Remark
This parameter can be included in a URL if you want to use the URL manager. For example, you can use: "ftp://a_user:a_password@a.host:service/a_directory/a_file" to specify a user and a password.
bool GetList(wxArrayString& files, const wxString& wildcard = "")
The GetList function is quite low-level. It returns the list of the files in the current directory. The list can be filtered using the wildcard string. If wildcard is empty (default), it will return all files in directory.
The form of the list can change from one peer system to another. For example, for a UNIX peer system, it will look like this:
-r--r--r-- 1 guilhem lavaux 12738 Jan 16 20:17 cmndata.cpp -r--r--r-- 1 guilhem lavaux 10866 Jan 24 16:41 config.cpp -rw-rw-rw- 1 guilhem lavaux 29967 Dec 21 19:17 cwlex_yy.c -rw-rw-rw- 1 guilhem lavaux 14342 Jan 22 19:51 cwy_tab.c -r--r--r-- 1 guilhem lavaux 13890 Jan 29 19:18 date.cpp -r--r--r-- 1 guilhem lavaux 3989 Feb 8 19:18 datstrm.cppBut on Windows system, it will look like this:
winamp~1 exe 520196 02-25-1999 19:28 winamp204.exe 1 file(s) 520 196 bytesReturn value: TRUE if the file list was successfully retrieved, FALSE otherwise.
wxOutputStream * GetOutputStream(const wxString& file)
Initializes an output stream to the specified file. The returned stream has all but the seek functionality of wxStreams. When the user finishes writing data, he has to delete the stream to close it.
Return value
An initialized write-only stream.

wxInputStream * GetInputStream(const wxString& path)
Creates a new input stream on the the specified path. You can use all but the seek functionality of wxStream. Seek isn't available on all streams. For example, http or ftp streams do not deal with it. Other functions like Tell are not available for this sort of stream, at present. You will be notified when the EOF is reached by an error.
Return value
Returns NULL if an error occurred (it could be a network failure or the fact that the file doesn't exist).
Returns the initialized stream. You will have to delete it yourself when you don't need it anymore. The destructor closes the DATA stream connection but will leave the COMMAND stream connection opened. It means that you can still send new commands without reconnecting.
Example of a standalone connection (without wxURL)
wxFTP ftp; wxInputStream *in_stream; char *data; ftp.Connect("a.host.domain"); ftp.ChDir("a_directory"); in_stream = ftp.GetInputStream("a_file_to_get"); data = new char[in_stream->StreamSize()]; in_stream->Read(data, in_stream->StreamSize()); if (in_stream->LastError() != wxStream_NOERROR) { // Do something. } delete in_stream; /* Close the DATA connection */ ftp.Close(); /* Close the COMMAND connection */See also
