ListDirectory Method

List the current directory specified by RemotePath on an FTP server.

Syntax

ftp.listDirectory([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method is used to list the directory (or file mask) specified in RemoteFile. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to RemotePath. The file listing is received through the DirList event.

Similar to ListDirectoryLong, except only file names are returned.

Note that since RemoteFile acts as a file mask, to retrieve a complete directory listing RemoteFile should be set to empty string or a mask like "*". If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.
