ftpclient api android,FTPClient

Using the default autodetect mechanism, initialize an FTPListParseEngine

object containing a raw file information for the supplied directory.

This information is obtained through the LIST command. This object

is then capable of being iterated to return a sequence of FTPFile

objects with information filled in by the

FTPFileEntryParser used.

The server may or may not expand glob expressions. You should avoid

using glob expressions because the return format for glob listings

differs from server to server and will likely cause this method to fail.

This method differs from using the listFiles() methods in that

expensive FTPFile objects are not created until needed which may be

an advantage on large lists.

FTPClient f=FTPClient();

f.connect(server);

f.login(username, password);

FTPListParseEngine engine = f.initiateListParsing(directory);

while (engine.hasNext()) {

FTPFile[] files = engine.getNext(25); // "page size" you want

//do whatever you want with these files, display them, etc.

//expensive FTPFile objects not created until needed.

}

Returns:A FTPListParseEngine object that holds the raw information and

is capable of providing parsed FTPFile objects, one for each file

containing information contained in the given path in the format

determined by the parser parameter. Null will be

returned if a data connection cannot be opened. If the current working

directory contains no files, an empty array will be the return.Throws:See Also:
