Hello,

I use the FTP component v3.3 on the framework 2.0
i create a fileSizeInfos function, and for this i use
GetFoldersContents(name of file) for retrieve a fileinfoitem
but if my filename start with the char '-' the function GetFoldersContents retrieve all contents of folder !!

Have you a idea on this problem ?

thanxs a lot

bye

Not all ftp servers react the same way to some ftp commands. Our list is generated from a standard ftp command like ls for example. We expose what the server returns. The first thing to do would be to show us the logfile.

In order to obtain the log file with Xceed Ftp for .NET you need to set the tracewriter property :

ftpClient.TraceWriter = new StreamWriter("path of your log\log.txt")

Please send this information at support@xceedsoft.com so we can get a better idea of the issue.

Hi,

nothing special, but the fonction getFoldersContents with "-PhotoStore.zip" returns 17 items and not one.

Do you have a idea ?

Thanxs.

The problem is with the server. It does not react properly to the "-" character.

The library only parses the list that is returned by the server, it does not filter it. It is the server that does the filtering, and returns the list accordingly to the filter.

As a workaround, you will need to filter the list manually after receiving it from the server.
