I created this class because I needed a class to allow me to synchronize
my local system with files on a remote system. At first, I looked to MSDN for
help, but couldn’t get their examples to work. Then, I looked to CodeGuru for
assistance. I posted the question of how to retreive a file using FTP and
Ken Sutherland was able to help me.
The source code he gave me worked for only one file transfer at a time so
I modified it for my purpose so that it allows for up to 100 files to
be transferred on one operation.
CFtpGet Class Definition
// ftpget.h
class CFtpGet
{
public:// function, in logical order
CFtpGet();
virtual ~CFtpGet();
// password & user name
bool SetAccessRight(CString userName,CString userPass);
// open the connection
bool OpenConnection(CString server);
// only one file
bool GetFile(CString remoteFile,
CString localFile);
// a full CString array
int GetMultipleFile(CStringArray *remoteArray,
CStringArray *localArray,
int number_file);
// close the connection
bool CloseConnection();
private: // var
CInternetSession *pInternetSession;
CFtpConnection *pFtpConnection;
CString strServerName;
CString strPass;
CString strUser;
public:
CString strAppName;
bool missed[100];
};
Using the CFtpGet Class
To transfer a single file…
CFtpGet ftp; //start the class
ftp.SetAccessRight("username","userpassword");// set user and pasword
bool good = ftp.OpenConnection("server");// the name of the server
if (!good)
return;
ftp.GetFile("somefile.zip","c:\downlaod\myfile.zip");
// see GetMultiplefile below
ftp.CloseConnection();
To transfer multiple files…
CStringArray remote;
CStringArray local;
remote.Add("remote1.zip");
remote.Add("remote2.zip");
remote.Add("remote3.zip");
local.Add("local1.zip");
local.Add("local2.zip");
local.Add("local3.zip");
ftp.GetMultipleFile(&remote,&local,3);
This is my first Itnernet file transfer class and I’ll try to embelish this class as
time permits.
