RemoteFile Property

The name of the remote file for uploading, downloading, etc.

Syntax

ftpcontrol.RemoteFile[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the remote file to upload, download, etc. and is either an absolute file path, or a relative path based on RemotePath.

A number of methods use RemoteFile as an argument.

Example (Setting RemoteFile)


FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\localfile.txt"
FTPControl.RemoteFile = "remotefile.txt"
FTPControl.Download()

FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\localfile2.txt"
FTPControl.RemoteFile = "folder/remotefile2.txt"
FTPControl.Download()

Note: As long as file masks are supported by the server, then this property will also act as a file mask when performing ListDirectory or ListDirectoryLong. If not supported, then ApplyFileMaskLocally could be set to true to filter the results locally.

Example (Using RemoteFile as a file mask):

FTPControl.RemoteFile = "*.txt"
FTPControl.ListDirectory()

The following special characters are supported for pattern matching:

? Any single character.
* Any characters or no characters. I.E., C*t matches Cat, Cot, Coast, Ct, etc)
[,-] A range of characters. E.g.: [a-z], [a], [0-9], [0-9,a-d,f,r-z], etc.
\ The slash is ignored and exact matching is performed on the next character.

If the above characters need to be used as a literal in a pattern then they must be escaped by surrounding them with a []. (Note, "]" and "-" do not need to be escaped) See below for the escape sequences:

CharacterEscape Sequence
? [?]
* [*]
[ [[]
\ [\]

For example, to match the value [Something].txt specify the pattern [[]Something].txt
