How to download specific file type from server (txt files for example)?
Last Updated 12 years ago
After connection with server is establish. First you need to use in your code GetFiles Method. GetFiles Method fires LoopItemEvent. Actually LoopItemEvent fires before GetFiles begin downloading files. So you can decide what files you want to download in LoopItemEvent.
Here is example for wodFtpDLX.NET. Example will download just txt files from some folder on server:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
dlx1 = New WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpDLX
dlx1.Hostname = "your_hostname"
dlx1.Login = "your_login"
dlx1.Password = "your_password"
dlx1.Connect ()
End Sub
Private Sub dlx1_ConnectedEvent(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal Args As WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpConnectedArgs) Handles dlx1.ConnectedEvent
dlx1.GetFiles("c:\weonlydo", "/home/something/weonlydo", 0)
End Sub
Private Sub dlx1_LoopItemEvent(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal Args As WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpLoopArgs) Handles dlx1.LoopItemEvent
If Args.ItemType = WeOnlyDo.Client.DirItemTypes.Directory Then
Args.Skip = False
Else
If Args.RemoteFile.EndsWith(".txt") Then
Args.Skip = False
Else
Args.Skip = True
End If
End If
End Sub
Here is example for wodFtpDLX ActiveX component (example is pretty same as example for wodFtpDLX.NET you need to use GetFiles Method and LoopItem Event just like in wodFtpDLX.NET):
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set dlx1 = New wodFtpDLXCom
dlx1.Hostname = "your_hostname"
dlx1.Login = "your_login"
dlx1.Password = "your_password"
dlx1.Connect
End Sub
Private Sub dlx1_Connected(ByVal ErrorCode As Long, ByVal ErrorText As String)
dlx1.GetFiles "c:\test", "/home/kreso1/drazen", 0
End Sub
Private Sub dlx1_LoopItem(LocalFile As String, RemoteFile As String, ByVal ItemType As wodFtpDLXComLib.DirItemTypes, Skip As Boolean)
If ItemType = typeDirectory Then
Skip = False
Else
If Right$(RemoteFile, 4) = ".txt" Then
Skip = False
Else
Skip = True
End If
End If
End Sub
