Servoy Components | IT2BE FTP Plug-in

Latest FTP Plug-in release available

2.3.27

04/02/2012

The FTP Plug-in introduces much of the basic FTP functionality into Servoy like: list, put, get etc.

FTP connections can be non-secure as well as secure.

Every client that needs a (secure SSH) connection to an FTP server to upload and download files to/form that FTP server will benefit.

		Smart client	Web client	Headless client
4+	1.5 +
5+	1.5 +
6+	1.5 +

//set the settings needed to log into the server
//alternative is the use of a keystore instead of a password
var settings = plugins.it2be_ftp.createPasswordSettings("host", "user", "password");

// Create a client for the SFTP connection
var client = plugins.it2be_ftp.createSFTPclient(settings);

// 'Build' the connection and when the connection returns true
// start executing the rest of the code
if (client.connect()) {
	globals.ftp = "";

//it is possible to retrieve an array of files
	var list = client.list("");
	
	if (list != null) {
		// Loop through the list of files
		for (var i = 0 ; i < list.length ; i++) {
			globals.ftp += list[i].getAbsolutePath() + "\n";
		}
	}
	
	// Disconnect the client
	globals.ftp += "\ndisconnected: " + client.disconnect();
}

// Create a client for the JFTP connection
var client = plugins.it2be_ftp.createJFTPclient("host", "user", "password");

// 'Build' the connection and when the connection returns true
// start executing the rest of the code
if (client.connect()) {
	var file = plugins.file.showDirectorySelectDialog()

if (file != null) {
		// retrieve a document from the server and write it under the designated name
		// the first entry is the remote file
		// the second entry is the local (new) file name
		client.get("index.php", file.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + "index.php");
	}
	
	// Disconnect the client
	globals.ftp = "GET disconnected: " + client.disconnect();
}
