The OFTPClient class implements the Odette File Transfer Protocol.

Syntax

OFTPClient

Remarks

The OFTPClient component may be used to send and receive OFTP files to and from an OFTP server.

Receiving Files

The OFTPClient ReceiveFiles function requires certain server properties be set. You must set the RemoteHost property to the remote location of the desired OFTP server. You may also set a RemotePort if the server is not set to the default protocol port. For client authorization, you must set the ClientSSIDCode, ClientSFIDCode, and ClientPassword properties. And, for server authentication, you must set the ServerSSIDCode, ServerSFIDCode, and ServerPassword properties.

The class will connect to the OFTP server and download all files in the server's outgoing queue, and write these files to the directory specified by DownloadDirectory. The class creates a default location on the local machine based on the values of the DownloadDirectory and the Virtual Filename as received from the server. If a different location is preferred, you may set the LocalFile parameter of the StartTransfer event.

Sending Files

The OFTPClient SendFile function requires the same server and authentication properties to be set as the ReceiveFiles function.

The class will connect to the OFTP server and upload the file contained by the LocalFile parameter. It uses the name specified by VirtualFileName when sending to the server. If this is not specified, the filename of the local file is parsed and used as the virtual filename.

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_setcertsubject(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCertSubject);

QString GetCertSubject();
int SetCertSubject(QString qsCertSubject);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_settimeout(void* lpObj, int iTimeout);

int GetTimeout();
int SetTimeout(int iTimeout);

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with a WOULDBLOCK error if data cannot be sent immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, data is sent in a blocking manner and the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The class will handle any potential WOULDBLOCK errors internally and automatically retry the operation for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

ChangeDirection Method (OFTPClient Class)

Sends a Change Direction (CD) command.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ChangeDirection();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ChangeDirection();

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_changedirection(void* lpObj);

int ChangeDirection();

Remarks

This method sends a Change Direction (CD) command to the remote host when called. In normal operation this should not be used. This should only be used if a condition arises where you must manually change the speaker when communicating with the remote host.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Config Method (OFTPClient Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);

char* ipworksedi_oftpclient_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);

QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Connect Method (OFTPClient Class)

This method connects to the FTP server without logging in.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Connect();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Connect();

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_connect(void* lpObj);

int Connect();

Remarks

This method establishes a connection with the RemoteHost but does not log in. In most cases, it is recommended to use the Logon method, which will both establish a connection and log in to the server.

This method may be useful in cases in which it is desirable to separate the connection and logon operations, for instance, confirming that a host is available by first creating the connection.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Disconnect Method (OFTPClient Class)

This method disconnects from the server without first logging off.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Disconnect();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Disconnect();

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_disconnect(void* lpObj);

int Disconnect();

Remarks

This method immediately disconnects from the server without first logging off.

In most cases, the Logoff method should be used to log off and disconnect from the server. Call the Disconnect method in cases in which it is desirable to immediately disconnect without first logging off.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

DoEvents Method (OFTPClient Class)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DoEvents();

Unicode (Windows)
INT DoEvents();

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_doevents(void* lpObj);

int DoEvents();

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

ExchangeCertificate Method (OFTPClient Class)

Exchange a certificate with the remote host.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ExchangeCertificate(const char* lpszCertificateStore, int iCertificateExchangeType);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ExchangeCertificate(LPCWSTR lpszCertificateStore, INT iCertificateExchangeType);

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_exchangecertificate(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCertificateStore, int iCertificateExchangeType);

int ExchangeCertificate(const QString& qsCertificateStore, int iCertificateExchangeType);

Remarks

If the remote host supports the certificate exchange feature of OFTP 2.0 this method may be used to send and/or request certificates.

The CertificateStore parameter specifies the location of the certificate to be exchanged. In most cases this will be the path to a .cer file on disk. If the certificate is in another format or is installed to the Windows certificate store please see ExchangeCertStoreType and ExchangeCertSubject for more information.

The CertificateExchangeType parameter determines the type of request. Possible values are:

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

ImportTrustedCerts Method (OFTPClient Class)

Imports a list of trusted CA certificates.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ImportTrustedCerts();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ImportTrustedCerts();

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_importtrustedcerts(void* lpObj);

int ImportTrustedCerts();

Remarks

When ImportTrustedCerts is called the class will import the CA certificates from the source specified by TrustedCertsData into the TrustedCerts collection.

The class will then validate the trust of certificates when they are loaded.

If trusted CA certificates are not imported no validation will occur (default).

See also FailOnUntrustedCert.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Interrupt Method (OFTPClient Class)

This method interrupts the current action.

Syntax

SendEndResponse Method (OFTPClient Class)

Sends an EERP/NERP asynchronously.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SendEndResponse(const char* lpszVirtualFileName, const char* lpszVirtualFileDate, const char* lpszDestination, const char* lpszOriginator, const char* lpszCreator, int iReasonCode, const char* lpszReasonText, const char* lpszFileHash, const char* lpszSignature);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SendEndResponse(LPCWSTR lpszVirtualFileName, LPCWSTR lpszVirtualFileDate, LPCWSTR lpszDestination, LPCWSTR lpszOriginator, LPCWSTR lpszCreator, INT iReasonCode, LPCWSTR lpszReasonText, LPCWSTR lpszFileHash, LPCWSTR lpszSignature);

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_sendendresponse(void* lpObj, const char* lpszVirtualFileName, const char* lpszVirtualFileDate, const char* lpszDestination, const char* lpszOriginator, const char* lpszCreator, int iReasonCode, const char* lpszReasonText, const char* lpszFileHash, const char* lpszSignature);

int SendEndResponse(const QString& qsVirtualFileName, const QString& qsVirtualFileDate, const QString& qsDestination, const QString& qsOriginator, const QString& qsCreator, int iReasonCode, const QString& qsReasonText, const QString& qsFileHash, const QString& qsSignature);

Remarks

This method sends an EERP/NERP. By default the class will automatically respond with an EERP/NERP when receiving a file. To respond asynchronously instead this method may be used.

To respond asynchronously first set the SendEndResponse parameter of the EndTransfer event to False. This instructs the class to not send a response automatically. Within the EndTransfer event you must also save the values that are required parameters for this method. This includes FileHash, VirtualFileDate, and VirtualFileName. Note: VirtualFileDateFormat must be set to a format that includes the necessary level of accuracy.

Destination should be set to the SFID of the remote host.

Originator should be set to the SFID of the local system. In the case that the class is being used as part of a gateway process to forward traffic to another OFTP host this may be set to the SFID of that host instead.

Creator should be set to the SFID of the local system.

Signature is only applicable if the application is acting as a routing application. In all other cases this should be set to empty string. In the case where the application is acting as a routing application the end response is being forwarded to another entity for processing. The Signature should be set to the value received in the EndResponse event (if populated).

ReasonCode and ReasonText are used to specify error information. If ReasonCode is set to 0 the class will send an EERP. If ReasonCode is set to any non-zero value the class will send a NERP. Common values are:

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

SendFile Method (OFTPClient Class)

Send the specified file to the server.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SendFile(const char* lpszLocalFile, const char* lpszVirtualFileName);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SendFile(LPCWSTR lpszLocalFile, LPCWSTR lpszVirtualFileName);

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_sendfile(void* lpObj, const char* lpszLocalFile, const char* lpszVirtualFileName);

int SendFile(const QString& qsLocalFile, const QString& qsVirtualFileName);

Remarks

This method connects to the server, and uploads the specified file to the server. The LocalFile parameter contains the path and name of the file to send to the server. The VirtualFileName parameter contains the virtual file name of the file being sent. If this parameter is left as an empty string, the component will use the filename contained in the LocalFile parameter by default.

Note: When SetUploadStream has been called with a valid input stream, the data will be uploaded from there instead of the LocalFile.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

ValidateCert Method (OFTPClient Class)

Validates the certificate with private key.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ValidateCert();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ValidateCert();

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_validatecert(void* lpObj);

bool ValidateCert();

Remarks

This method optionally validates the certificate specified by Certificate. It is not required to validate the certificate from a technical perspective, but may be desired to ensure the recipient's certificate is valid and issued by a trusted authority.

Before calling this method call ImportTrustedCerts to load the trusted certification information.

When this method is called the class:

• Validates the certificate has not expired
• Validates the certificate was issued by a CA in the TrustedCerts collection. If the certificate is self-signed this step is skipped.
• Validates the certificate has not been revoked. Note that the revocation check will only make use of the CRL distribution point identified in the certificate's extension. If the certificate does not contain a CRL distribution point extension this step is skipped.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Boolean value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

ValidateRecipientCert Method (OFTPClient Class)

Validates the recipient certificate.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ValidateRecipientCert();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ValidateRecipientCert();

int ipworksedi_oftpclient_validaterecipientcert(void* lpObj);

bool ValidateRecipientCert();

Remarks

This method optionally validates the certificate specified by RecipientCert. It is not required to validate the certificate from a technical perspective, but may be desired to ensure the recipient's certificate is valid and issued by a trusted authority.

Before calling this method call ImportTrustedCerts to load the trusted certification information.

When this method is called the class:

• Validates the certificate has not expired
• Validates the certificate was issued by a CA in the TrustedCerts collection. If the certificate is self-signed this step is skipped.
• Validates the certificate has not been revoked. Note that the revocation check will only make use of the CRL distribution point identified in the certificate's extension. If the certificate does not contain a CRL distribution point extension this step is skipped.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Boolean value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

AcceptFile Event (OFTPClient Class)

Fired when the client receives a file.

Syntax

void AcceptFile(OFTPClientAcceptFileEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass OFTPClient and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireAcceptFile(OFTPClientAcceptFileEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event controls the behavior when the client receives a file.

VirtualFileName holds the name of the file being received.

VirtualFileDate holds the date associated with the file in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

Destination identifies the receiver (SFID) code in the send file request. If the file was intended for this server this will match the value in ServerSFIDCode

Originator identifies the sender (SFID) code in the send file request.

Accept is true by default, and must be set to False in order to reject the file.

Filename will be populated with the full path and filename that will be written. It may be changed within this event to specify a new location. The Filename is determined by combining the path specified in OFTPConnectionDownloadDirectory and the name received from the client.

Overwrite is false by default, but may be set to true to overwrite existing files on disk.

ErrorCode controls the error returned to the client when Accept is set to False. If this is not set the class will use a value of 99 to indicate a general error.

ErrorDescription may also be set to include an error message. If this is not set the class will automatically include an error message based on the ErrorCode specified. Common error codes and their corresponding error messages are listed below.

CertificateReceived Event (OFTPClient Class)

Fired when a certificate is received from the remote host.

Syntax

void CertificateReceived(OFTPClientCertificateReceivedEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass OFTPClient and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireCertificateReceived(OFTPClientCertificateReceivedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event provides information about the certificate file that was sent by the remote host.

When the remote host sends a certificate using the Certificate Exchange feature of OFTP 2.0, this event provides information about it. The certificate file will be written to the DownloadDirectory. After the file is written to DownloadDirectory this event will fire.

The CertificateFilemame parameter holds the filename of the received certificate.

The CertificateExchangeType parameter identifies the type of request associated with the certificate. Possible values are:

virtual int FireEndResponse(OFTPClientEndResponseEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event contains information received from an either an End-To-End Response or a Negative End Response received from the server.

An End-To-End Response will not contain values for the ReasonCode, ReasonText, or Creator parameters.

VirtualFileName specifies the name of the file.

VirtualFileDate holds the VirtualFileDate value in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

Destination is the SFID of the destination system (this class).

Originator identifies the system that originated the end response. This is typically the same as Creator and holds the remote system's SFID.

Creator is the SFID of the remote system.

Direction specifies whether the end response is being received or sent. Possible values are:

FileHash is populated if the OFTP Version is 2.0 and a signed receipt was originally requested. FileHash may also be specified with the expected value in the case where an asynchronous EndResponse is received. The expected value may be obtained from the EndTransfer event when initially sending the file.

Signature is only applicable when the OFTP version is 2.0 and the application is acting as a routing application where the end response will be forwarded on to another entity. In this case Signature will be populated if the end response is signed. This should be stored and supplied when forwarding the response with the SendEndResponse method.

ReasonCode and ReasonText identify the error if a Negative End Response (NERP) was received. A value of 0 indicates there was no an error and the response is an End-To-End Response (EERP). Common values are:

EndTransfer Event (OFTPClient Class)

Fired when a file finishes transferring.

void EndTransfer(OFTPClientEndTransferEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass OFTPClient and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireEndTransfer(OFTPClientEndTransferEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when a file is sent or received by the class.

The FileSize parameter gives the size of the file that was sent or received.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client or the server is sending the data.

VirtualFileName holds the filename.

VirtualFileDate holds the date associated with the file in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

Originator identifies the sender (SFID) code in the send file request.

Destination identifies the receiver (SFID) code in the send file request.

SendEndResponse indicates whether the EERP/NERP for this request should be sent synchronously or asynchronously. When this parameter is True (default) the class will automatically respond with an EERP/NERP synchronously. To respond asynchronously set this parameter to False. You may then use the SendEndResponse method to send the response at a later time. See SendEndResponse for more details. Note: VirtualFileDateFormat must be set to a format that includes the necessary level of accuracy.

FileHash holds the hash of the file being transmitted. This is only applicable when the OFTP version is 2.0 and the sender requested a signed receipt. When receiving files this value should be saved if you wish to respond asynchronously using SendEndResponse. See SendEndResponse for more details.

LocalFile holds the full path to the file that will be written.

ReasonCode and ReasonText identify the error if a Negative End Response (NERP) was received. A value of 0 indicates there was no an error and the response is an End-To-End Response (EERP). Common values are:

Error Event (OFTPClient Class)

SSLServerAuthentication Event (OFTPClient Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

• C++
• C
• Qt

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  const char *CertEncoded;
  int lenCertEncoded;

  const char *CertIssuer;
  const char *Status;
  int Accept;
  int reserved;
} OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCSTR CertEncoded;
  INT lenCertEncoded;
  LPCWSTR CertSubject;
  LPCWSTR CertIssuer;
  LPCWSTR Status;
  BOOL Accept;
  INT reserved;
} OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;

#define EID_OFTPCLIENT_SSLSERVERAUTHENTICATION 8

virtual INT IPWORKSEDI_CALL FireSSLServerAuthentication(LPSTR &lpCertEncoded, INT &lenCertEncoded, LPSTR &lpszCertSubject, LPSTR &lpszCertIssuer, LPSTR &lpszStatus, BOOL &bAccept);

class OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams {

void SSLServerAuthentication(OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass OFTPClient and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (OFTPClient Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

• C++
