Transfer Files to and from an FTP Server

Environment: Visual C++

Transferring files to and from the server is easily automated using MFC classes. Here I have provided the full source code to do file transfers from and to the FTP servers. I have provided and arranged the code in such a way that it is possible to transfer a complete directory or drive to the server.

The application that transfers the files will give a list of local drives in the system. After you Connect to the FTP server, it connects to the root of the server. Then the root items can be expanded and the required file transfer can be performed. It resembles the Explorer window.

It uses the MFC class CFtpConnection and CInternetSession to achieve the file transfer.

  • Expansion problem

    I agree that there appears to be a bug with expanding a remote sub-directory.  I believe the problem lies in LeftView.cpp with the following code:


    		while (true)

    		{

    			hTC = TreeCtrl->GetParentItem(hTC);

    			if(!hTC)

    				break;

    		

    			if (hTC != TreeCtrl->GetRootItem()){

    				Tmp = TreeCtrl->GetItemText(hTC);

    				//? if(strcmp(Tmp, "/") == 0)

    				//?	break;

    				Dir = Tmp+"/"+Dir;

    			}

    		}

    		Dir += "/*";


    Commenting out the two lines marked '//?' appears to fix the problem for me.  On the ftp server I'm connecting to, I have a 'usr' directory with a 'users' sub-directory.  On the first pass through OnItemexpanding(), Dir='//*', which is fine.  Expanding 'usr' yields Dir='usr/*', which is not fine.  Commenting out the above test yields Dir='//usr/*', which is good.  But, I'm guessing I've just broken something else.


    This is an excellent program, and I plan to expand on it for my own purposes.  I'll be happy to help test any features and bug fixes you might have.

    I can expand some of directories of solaris ftp server. I don't have such a ptoblem with BulletProof FTP client or any other FTP client.

    For example I try to expand "export" node. I see it's subfolder "home" in right view but node is not expanded.

    Also I think that it'll be a good idea to add in explorer (http://www.codeguru.com/atl/deskband.html is example how you can add bars in it. For my sorrow I don't know how you can add tree nodes in "Folders" bar. If someone knows let help you)
