Remarks

The FTP Class supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.

The FTP Class implements a standard FTP client as specified in RFC 959 and RFC 1579 with the added option of SSL security (RFC 2228) in both the protocol and data channels.

The first step in using the class is specifying the RemoteHost, User and Password. The file to upload to or download from is given by the RemoteFile property. The file to download to or upload from is specified by LocalFile. The current path in the server is set by calling ChangeRemotePath. The Passive property is especially useful if the client is behind a firewall, which inhibits incoming connections to higher ports.

If LocalFile is set to something other than an empty string, then files are received in LocalFile, and otherwise data are received through the Transfer event. StartTransfer and EndTransfer are fired at the beginning and end of transmission.

The PITrail event traces the interaction between the client and the server (the FTP protocol interface connection).

Directory listings are received through the DirList event.

ipworks_ftp_set($res, 17, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

This property is used by the Upload and Download methods to specify the path to a local file to be downloaded or uploaded. See the method descriptions for more information.

Example (Setting LocalFile)

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

Data Type

String

LocalHost Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getLocalHost();
public function setLocalHost($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 18 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 18, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Data Type

String

Overwrite Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This indicates whether or not the class should overwrite files during transfer.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getOverwrite();
public function setOverwrite($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 19 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 19, $value );

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property is a value indicating whether or not the class should overwrite downloaded files. If Overwrite is False, an error will be thrown whenever LocalFile exists before a download operation.

Data Type

Boolean

Passive Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This controls whether or not to direct the server into a passive mode. It is recommended if behind a firewall.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getPassive();
public function setPassive($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 20 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 20, $value );

Default Value

true

Remarks

This property controls whether or not to direct the server into a passive mode. Many firewalls will not allow the FTP server to open a connection from outside to the higher ports where the FTP client class expects them to be. If Passive is set to TRUE, the class will use the PASV command instead of the PORT command and thus will direct the server into a passive mode: connections are initiated only by the client.

Data Type

Boolean

Password Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This is the password used to log in.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getPassword();
public function setPassword($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 21 );

Object Oriented Interface

public function getRemoteFile();
public function setRemoteFile($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 22 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 22, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

This property contains the name of the remote file to be uploaded or downloaded and is either an absolute file path or a relative path based on the remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath.

A number of methods use RemoteFile as an argument.

Example 1. 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 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 2. Using RemoteFile as a file mask: FTPControl.RemoteFile = "*.txt" FTPControl.ListDirectory()

The following special characters are supported for pattern matching:

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

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

Data Type

String

RemoteHost Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This is the domain name or IP address of the FTP server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getRemoteHost();
public function setRemoteHost($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 23 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 23, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or the domain name of the FTP server. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.

If this property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

Data Type

String

RemotePort Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This is the port for the FTP service (default is 21).

Object Oriented Interface

public function getRemotePort();
public function setRemotePort($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 24 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 24, $value );

Default Value

21

Remarks

This property contains the port for the FTP service, which defaults to 21 if not set. A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.

For an implicit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), use port 990 (please see the SSLStartMode property for more information).

StartByte Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This is the byte index in RemoteFile and LocalFile from which to start a transmission.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getStartByte();
public function setStartByte($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 109 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 109, $value );

Default Value

'0'

Remarks

This property contains a zero-based index in both RemoteFile and LocalFile that determines the point from which the transmission of data begins. This is useful for resuming interrupted downloads and uploads of files from FTP servers.

Once set, the StartByte index is used for all future downloads and uploads. The property must be reset to "0" for normal downloads and uploads.

The type of the property is a string instead of numeric value to allow for certain implementations that expect an alphanumeric marker for the start index.

In the Transfer event, the TransferredBytes parameter will include the bytes skipped (i.e., it will show StartByte more bytes than actually transferred).

Note: Some FTP servers may not support the FTP REST command. If that is the case with the server you are accessing, you will not be able to use the StartByte property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Timeout Property (IPWorks_FTP Class)

The timeout for the class.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getTimeout();
public function setTimeout($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_get($res, 110 );
ipworks_ftp_set($res, 110, $value );

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

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.

Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, 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.

Abort Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

The method aborts the current upload or download.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doAbort();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_abort($res);

Remarks

This method sends an ABOR command to the FTP server. It is used to interrupt file uploads and downloads.

Append Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method appends data from LocalFile to a RemoteFile on an FTP server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doAppend();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_append($res);

Remarks

This method causes the server-data transfer process (DTP) to accept the data transferred through the data connection and to store the data in a file on the server site. If the file specified in the pathname exists on the server site, then the data shall be appended to that file; otherwise, the file specified in the pathname shall be created on the server site. This method is similar to the Upload method, but the local file specified by LocalFile is appended to RemoteFile on the server as opposed to replacing it, as with the Upload method. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to the current path set by ChangeRemotePath. The server will create a file with that name if it doesn't already exist (similar to upload). If no FTP session is in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

ChangeRemotePath Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method changes the current path on the FTP server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doChangeRemotePath($remotepath);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_changeremotepath($res, $remotepath);

Remarks

This method changes the current path on the FTP server to the specified RemotePath. When called, the class will issue a command to the server to change the directory. The RemotePath parameter may hold an absolute or relative path.

Absolute Paths

If the path begins with a /, it is considered an absolute path and must specify the entire path from the root of the server. For instance:

component.ChangeRemotePath("/home/testuser/myfolder");

Relative Paths

If the path does not begin with a /, it is considered a relative path and is resolved in relation to the current directory. For instance, a value of myfolder will indicate a subfolder of the current directory. The special value .. refers to the parent directory of the current path. For instance:

//Change to the 'myfolder' sub-directory component.ChangeRemotePath("myfolder"); //Navigate up two levels and then into the 'another/folder' path. component.ChangeRemotePath("../../another/folder");

ChangeTransferMode Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method changes the transfer mode for the current connection.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doChangeTransferMode($transfermode);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_changetransfermode($res, $transfermode);

Remarks

This method optionally changes the transfer mode used for the connection. The TransferMode parameter indicates the new transfer mode to be used.

In many cases, it is not necessary to explicitly change the transfer mode; however, the binary transfer mode is useful to ensure that files are preserved byte-for-byte during the transfer. For instance, when uploading or downloading images or archives, the binary transfer mode will ensure that no line-ending transformations are performed by the server before data are transmitted.

Valid values for the TransferMode parameter are as follows:

CheckFileExists Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method returns True if the file specified by RemoteFile exists on the server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doCheckFileExists();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_checkfileexists($res);

Remarks

This method sends a command to the server to determine if the file specified by RemoteFile exists. If the file exists, this method returns true, otherwise it returns false. RemoteFile must be specified before calling this method. For instance: component.ChangeRemotePath("/home/testuser/myfolder"); component.RemoteFile = "test.txt"; if(component.CheckFileExists()) { //Do something }

Config Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doConfig($configurationstring);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_config($res, $configurationstring);

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.

Connect Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method connects to the FTP server without logging in.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doConnect();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_connect($res);

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.

DeleteFile Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method removes a file specified by FileName from an FTP server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDeleteFile($filename);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_deletefile($res, $filename);

Remarks

This method is used to remove a file specified by FileName from an FTP server. The remote file or directory specified by FileName is deleted. FileName is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to remote path set by ChangeRemotePath. If no FTP session is in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Disconnect Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method disconnects from the server without first logging off.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDisconnect();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_disconnect($res);

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.

DoEvents Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doEvents();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_doevents($res);

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.

Download Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method downloads a RemoteFile from an FTP server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDownload();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_download($res);

Remarks

This method is used to download the remote file specified by RemoteFile to the local file specified by LocalFile, or it is retrieved through the Transfer event if the LocalFile property is "" (empty string). RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server or a path relative to a remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath. If no FTP session is in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Example (Download a File)

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

Similar to ListDirectoryLong, except that only file names are returned.

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

ListDirectoryLong Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method lists extended directory information for the remote path specified by calling ChangeRemotePath .

Object Oriented Interface

public function doListDirectoryLong();

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_do_listdirectorylong($res);

Remarks

This method is used to request a directory (or file mask) listing specified in RemoteFile. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to the remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath. The file listing is received through the DirList event. Extended file information is returned.

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

Logoff Method (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This method is used to log off from the FTP server by posting a QUIT command.

Object Oriented Interface

PITrail Event (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This event traces the commands sent to the server, and the respective replies.

Object Oriented Interface

public function firePITrail($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_register_callback($res, 5, array($this, 'firePITrail'));

Parameter List

Remarks

The PITrail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all of the interactions between the client and the server, line by line.

The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:

SSLServerAuthentication Event (IPWorks_FTP Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLServerAuthentication($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_register_callback($res, 6, array($this, 'fireSSLServerAuthentication'));

Parameter List

 'certencoded'
 'certsubject'
 'certissuer'
 'status'
 'accept'

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 (IPWorks_FTP Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLStatus($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_register_callback($res, 7, array($this, 'fireSSLStatus'));

Parameter List

 'message'

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This event fires when a file starts downloading or uploading.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireStartTransfer($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_register_callback($res, 8, array($this, 'fireStartTransfer'));

Parameter List

 'direction'

Remarks

The StartTransfer event fires when a Data Interface connection is created. This is when the file starts transferring or a directory listing is started.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Transfer Event (IPWorks_FTP Class)

This event is fired during the file download or upload.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireTransfer($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_ftp_register_callback($res, 9, array($this, 'fireTransfer'));

Parameter List

 'direction'
 'bytestransferred'
 'percentdone'
 'text'

Remarks

One or more Transfer events are fired during file transfer. The BytesTransferred parameter shows the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the transfer.

Text contains the portion of the file data being delivered.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
