See more FTP Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example demonstrating how to get the number of files in a directory not including sub-directories. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

ftp = Chilkat::CkFtp2.new()

ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.example.com")
ftp.put_Username("login")
ftp.put_Password("password")

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# The ListPattern property is our directory listing filter.
# The default value is "*", which includes everything.
print ftp.listPattern() + "\n";

# Fetch the current remote directory contents by
# calling GetDirCount

n = ftp.GetDirCount()
if (n < 0)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

if (n > 0)
    # Loop over the directory contents, incrementing the count
    # each time it is NOT a directory.
    fileCount = 0
    for i in 0 .. n - 1

        # Is this NOT a sub-directory?
        if (ftp.GetIsDirectory(i) != true)
            fileCount = fileCount + 1
            # Display the filename
            print ftp.getFilename(i) + "\n";
        end

    end

    print "Total number of files = " + fileCount.to_s() + "\n";
end

success = ftp.Disconnect()
