InternetFindNextFile???

_AnsHUMAN_

Hi All, I am working on an application that allows the user to upload files on a FTP Server. Now when I use the code below to iterate through the files on the server I just get a '.' and nothing else.

BOOL bResult=true;
WIN32_FIND_DATA w32fdFtpFile;
HINTERNET hInetFindFile=::FtpFindFirstFile(hInetConn,"*.*",&w32fdFtpFile,0,0);
if(hInetFindFile !=(HINTERNET)NULL)
{
	while(bResult)
	{
        // Do something with the found file
	bResult=::InternetFindNextFile(hInetFindFile ,&w32fdFtpFile);
	}
}
InternetCloseHandle (hInetFindFile);

Can someone point out what I am doing wrong here. Thanks for any help. Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

change your filter to just * instead of *.* so you won't require a period somewhere in the name. earl

Are there files in the folder opened by FtpFindFirstFile()? Does the while loop run indefinitely, or just once?

Thanks for replying David. Yes there are files on the server.It shows me only one '.' and nothing else.Any suggestions on how I get all the files. Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

I did not ask if there were files on the server. I asked if there were files in a specific folder. Since you specified a relative path, rather than an absolute path, to FtpFindFirstFile(), you may very well be in a folder (i.e., CWD) that has no files.

Hi David, Can you put some light on how can I set the path of the folder on the FTP Server whose files I want to display in my application Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Check out FtpSetCurrentDirectory() and FtpGetCurrentDirectory().

Thanks again David. I managed to get that working earlier. Can you provide me a link on how could I set up a callback function for InternetStatusCallback. At present I am doing this way

hInetOpen = InternetOpen("MyFTPClient",INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT,NULL,NULL,INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC);
	INTERNET_STATUS_CALLBACK inetStatusCallback  =InternetSetStatusCallback(hInetOpen ,(INTERNET_STATUS_CALLBACK)InternetStatusCallback );
	if(inetStatusCallback  == INTERNET_INVALID_STATUS_CALLBACK)
	{
		CString szErrMsg;
		szErrMsg.Format("%s: %d", "InternetData : InternetSetStatusCallback: ",GetLastError());
		return false;
	}

I am getting an error "type cast' : cannot convert from 'overloaded-function' to 'INTERNET_STATUS_CALLBACK' " Thanks. Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_ -- modified at 8:46 Friday 21st July, 2006

You failed to indicate the offending statement. How is InternetStatusCallback() defined?

GetLastError() returns a DWORD, not an int.

I post the code here[^] Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

So which statement is the compiler complaining about?

Everything compiles fine. Just the callback function isn't called.

What code do you have in place that *should* be calling it?
