Using the FTP FTPEx.au3 makes communicating with FTP a breeze. With great functions like _FTP_FileGet, _FTP_FilePut, and _FTP_DirPutContents, you can upload and download with ease. But what about the much needed ability to download a folder with a simple _FTP_DirGetContents function? Well I put together a function that will download a folder with ease... _FTP_DirGetContents Function: Func _FTP_DirGetContents($oConn, $opath, $olocal, $orec) If Not FileExists($olocal) Then DirCreate($olocal) If StringRight($opath, 1) <> "/" Then $opath &= "/" If $orec == 1 Then Local $ocurrent = _FTP_DirGetCurrent($oConn) _FTP_DirSetCurrent($oConn, $opath) Local $afolders = _FTP_ListToArray($oConn, 1) _FTP_DirSetCurrent($oConn, $ocurrent) For $o = 1 To $afolders[0] If $afolders[$o] == "." Or $afolders[$o] == ".." Then ContinueLoop If Not FileExists($olocal & "\" & $afolders[$o]) Then DirCreate($olocal & "\" & $afolders[$o]) _FTP_DirGetContents($oConn, $opath & $afolders[$o], $olocal & "\" & $afolders[$o], $orec) Next EndIf Local $hFTPFind Local $aFile = _FTP_FindFileFirst($oConn, $opath, $hFTPFind) While 1 _FTP_FileGet($oConn, $opath & $aFile[10], @ScriptDir & "\tmpdata\" & $aFile[10]) $aFile = _FTP_FindFileNext($hFTPFind) If @error Then ExitLoop WEnd _FTP_FindFileClose($hFTPFind) EndFunc Example Usage: #include <FTPEx.au3> If Not FileExist(@ScriptDir & "\ftptemp") Then DirCreate(@ScriptDir & "\ftptemp") $dir_local = @ScriptDir & "\ftptemp" $dir_remote = "/" Local $iOpen = _FTP_Open('MyFTP Control') Local $iConn = _FTP_Connect($iOpen, "YourFTPServer", "YourUsername", "YourPassword") _FTP_DirGetContents($iConn, $dir_remote, $dir_local, 1) _FTP_Close($iConn) _FTP_Close($iOpen) Function Call Explanation: _FTP_DirGetContents($oConn, $opath, $olocal, $orec) $oConn: session handle as returned by _FTP_Connect. $opath: The remote folder to download $olocal: The local folder to download to. $orec: set to 1 to download folder and subfolders. Set to 0 for non recursive. Enjoy

I have written a program to get files from a FTP site using _FTPEx.au3. I'm using the _FTP_ListToArray function to get a list of the files, and everything seems OK on 64-bit OS, but it just hangs on a 32-bit OS. Specifically, it is working on Windows 10 64-bit, and Windows 7 64-bit - but hanging on Windows 7 32-bit. A snippet of the code I'm using is... ;read the list of files in the directory Write_To_Log("...getting the list of files on the FTP") Local $returnarray = _FTP_ListToArray($FTPConn, 2) If $returnarray[0] = 0 Then Write_To_Log("...error reading the list of files on the FTP - no files returned") Return False Else ;see if the file was found Local $filefound = False Local $i For $i = 1 To UBound($returnarray) - 1 Write_To_Log("...found the file " & $returnarray[$i]) If $returnarray[$i] = $FTPFileName Then $filefound = True Write_To_Log("...required file found") EndIf Next EndIf Write_To_Log is a function that just writes out to a text file so I can see what's going on - it logs "...getting the list of files on the FTP" and then just hangs. Anyone out there can help?

The following function successfully connects to and uploads a local text file named user.dat I have checked the data being written to the text file when it is created locally using a MsgBox and it appears exactly how it should be written to the file. If I comment out the FileDelete and go and open the file locally it is as expected. However when I download the file from the FTP server and open it up the text that should be at the end of the file is missing. With each subsequent run more characters are missing. I added the Sleep(5000) in case the function was closing the FTP connection too quickly before the file could be fully written but it makes no difference. The user.dat file is (should be) approximately 100 bytes so it is tiny. Any idea why this is happening? Func UpdateUserData() ; Upload the modified user.dat file Local $hOpen = _FTP_Open("myftp") Local $hConn = _FTP_Connect($hOpen, "my.ftp.server", "user", "pass", 1, 0, 1, 2) If @error Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "Connection failed" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Please contact support") _FTP_Close($hConn) _FTP_Close($hOpen) Exit EndIf _FTP_FilePut($hConn, @TempDir & "\user.dat", "user.dat") ; Upload the new user.dat file Sleep(5000) If @error <> 0 Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "Couldn't transmit data" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Please contact support") _FTP_Close($hConn) _FTP_Close($hOpen) Exit EndIf _FTP_Close($hConn) _FTP_Close($hOpen) FileDelete(@TempDir & "\user.dat") EndFunc

Hi, I have written a small script to read a file from an FTP server and check its contents. This can be re-run by the press of a button, however, if the file is deleted from the ftp server between runs (with the .exe still live), the file is still "read" and written locally, which then passes the check. If I run it initially without the file, it correctly fails and pops up my error message, but if the file is then added, it then seemingly gets cached (or similar) so that the app then always reports a success. The below code snippet is just the function run when the "test" button is pressed. It includes a load of debug message boxes, and from that I think I've gathered a few (possibly) interesting/relevant things: $Open and $Conn are 8 byte values, which increments (not by 1) when the FTP connection is not closed, but if the connection is closed, they stick at the value (presumably windows can re-use that session id if it's been closed e.g: 1st run (file not present) $Open -> 0x00CC0004 $Conn -> 0x00CC0008 2nd run (file not present) $Open -> 0x00CC0010 $Conn -> 0x00CC0014 3rd run (file now present) $Open -> 0x00CC001C $Conn -> 0x00CC0020 4th run (file still present) $Open -> 0x00CC001C $Conn -> 0x00CC0020 $Ftp = _FTP_FileGet.... returns a 1 when file not present (in a run after it was present) and "test_transfer.txt" does get created and does contain the correct string This is the key bit I dont understand, I dont know how/where it is getting the data to write this file when it literally no longer exists on the target FTP server... resetting every variable used in the function each time it's run does work (in that they become 0), but it doesn't affect the putcome I had thought perhaps some key values were being stored in the variables, but this doesn't seem to be the case Is there any concept of clearing a cache when closing an ftp session? Or deleting any unknown temporary files windows might make?

Hi, I have problem to have my program executed properly in windows 8 or 10. I develop it in XP and first question is, do I have to develop/compile and then run in same environment to get it right? Compiled files work perfect in all other platforms but not in Windows 8 or 10.. I use temporary data in subDir in ProgramData and program is working, but not with FTP, it dont resolve DNS for me when connecting. Extended Error Code 12007. My compiled program is installed by a "Install Creater Pro" (clickteam.com) in the targetcomputer. Computer I test on with Windows 10 is runing in Developer Mode. I tested Sideload mode as well. MS Info about Sideload: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn706236.aspx Any help is appriciated, GetFTPfile.au3

If somebody could please explain to me why is function "_FTP_FindFileFirst" returning over and over again the same files that I have allready downloaded and deleted, and why does the function "_FTP_FileGet" reports "Succeeded" on downloading non-existing file?
