See more FTP Examples

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

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

ftp = chilkat.CkFtp2()

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())
    sys.exit()

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

# Fetch the current remote directory contents by
# calling GetDirCount

n = ftp.GetDirCount()
if (n < 0):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

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

        # Is this NOT a sub-directory?
        if (ftp.GetIsDirectory(i) != True):
            fileCount = fileCount + 1
            # Display the filename
            print(ftp.getFilename(i))

    print("Total number of files = " + str(fileCount))

success = ftp.Disconnect()
