The ListDir Method syntax has these parts:

object An expression evaluating to an object of type wodFTPDNotify.
Owner A wodFTPDCom object. Reference to wodFTPServer instance that called this notification method.
User A FtpUser object. Reference to user who is listing directory contents.
RelativePath A String value. Path to the directory, as seen by the user.
ResolvedPath A String value. Full path to the folder on local system.
Action A FtpActions enumeration, as described in settings. When set to Deny/SilentDeny, wodFTPServer denies this action.

Settings

The settings for Action are:

Constant Value Description
 Deny 0 Deny execution of the action.
 Allow 1 Allow to execute action.
 SilentDeny 2 Silently deny execution of the action.
 SilentAllow 3 Silently allow to execute action.

Remarks

NOTE: This method is called only if you implemented IwodFTPDNotify interface in your application, and wodFTPD.Notification property has received reference to instance of your implementation.

This notification method is called when user sends command to list contents of a directory. Usually in FTP protocol this is LIST and NLST commands, and in SFTP protocol this is special formed packet request.

If you want to hide directory contents, just set Action = Deny and the client will receive an error (permission denied error).

If you want to 'resolve' requested RelativePath to some different location - just set ResolvedPath argument to something else. This is great for creating 'virtual directories' which point to something completely different on your system. Client will never know for this change - all he knows is he's getting directory list for RelativePath.
