Ok, So I have been trying to do this so many different ways I just can't figure it out. I want the FTP files to be displayed like FileZilla(or something like it). I want the Remote files in a listbox and do things with them. I like how I can do that with DownloadTree, but it I don't want it to literally DOWNLOAD the files onto my computer, that takes way too long. If anyone knows what I'm talking about / can help please post. Thank you so much. |

Alternately, you can loop through all of the files and folders in the current remote directory and gather information for display. See this following Chilkat example: |

ok yes I know how to display them I have no problem with that. Like I cant do anything with them though, it's just in text. There not objects I can- i.e: select, right click, put icons to..ect It seems to me that in order to create an object that contained all that- the component would have to download the files in question. filezilla doesn't do that- it retrieves the directory info and creates it's own objects locally, fetching icon information from local settings. (for example:if you don't have photoshop installed and filezilla shows a psd, it has a blank paper icon). If you used the listing text to create a menu of the files- then you would have to write the controls to select, right click, and what to do if a right click option was selected... just a thought

I know what you;re saying but I can use Download tree, it would download all files locally- but it takes a bit of time, FileZilla does it almost instantly. but my point is that fz is not doing that "instantly" check the log info: Command: CWD _db_backups Response: 250 CWD command successful. Command: PWD Response: 257 "/_db_backups" is current directory. Command: PASV Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (**). Command: LIST Response: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection. Response: 226 Transfer complete. Status: Directory listing successful that status: directory listing. that's all it did. the rest was the application logic showing the files in a way that you can interact with them. and you would need to also create that logic

Any idea how I would go about doing that though? ohh, many... but I don't even know what language your using... I use chilkat for maintenance scripts in JScript, but if I wanted to do that I would create an HTA and use HTML to create an interface similar to FZ. using the <select> tag I can generate a select-able interface, then with JScript I would populate the right click options. If for instance, someone selected an option to download, then I would use the chilkat FTP component to find the file and download it... but that's a big project, and this forum is to answer specific questions... Maybe you should use FZ if it works :) good luck.
