Jan 8th, 2009
Hello fellow super coder people

i am rtying to list all the files in a certain directory (eg. "TestDir") in a combobox

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. try
  2.             {
  3.                 m_ftp.Server = txtftpServerName.Text;
  4.                 m_ftp.Username = txtftpUserName.Text;
  5.                 m_ftp.Password = txtftpPassword.Text;
  6.  
  7.                 m_ftp.Login();
  8.                 string[] The_File = m_ftp.GetFileList("TestDir");
  9.  
  10.                 foreach (string FILE in The_File)
  11.                 {
  12.                     cboFindFile.Items.Add(FILE);
  13.                     Console.Write(FILE);
  14.                 }
  15.                 m_ftp.Close();
  16.             }
  17.             catch(Exception EX)
  18.             {
  19.                 MessageBox.Show("Files Not Downloaded");
  20.             }

That only downloads one file into the combobox ...

Any ideas ???
please help...

Regards and thanks...

I would expect it to. youve asked it to show you the details of the directory, not the contents within it.
Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.

Ok i understand that , thank you very much ... i tested a few other ways, but for argument sake lets say i said

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. string[] The_Files = m_ftp.GetFileList("/");

or

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. string[] The_Files = m_ftp.GetFileList("TestDir/");

or even

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. string[] The_Files = m_ftp.GetFileList("//TestDir/");

/* Just keep in mind that the TCP is already connected so specifying just a directory works for Upload and delete */

It gives me the same problem , so could you maybe make my day worth wile and help me try something else ?

Even a total different approach is fine, i can adjust my code...

LizR - you rock , thanks for your help

The directory contains about 5 zipped files , trust me i have been debugging ... hahaha, i guess this leaves me at phase one again, but rest asured, i never give up, i will post the working code soon, watch this space ... hehehe

The problem must be within the loop somewhere, thats why i think maybe doing a 'for' loop rather than a 'foreach' loop, because it does give me the first file in the dir, but there are about five .bak files that are zipped ... so lets say .zip files

Anyway , thanks for your attempt

no no, you're missing the point.
If the function you're calling only sends back the 1 file, then thats all it has to send. For loop and foreach wont make any difference.

if the array only has the 1 file, you cant change that

Ok i think i know whats wrong here

i think that the files are not registering in the array - what you said

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. private void FindFiles(object sender, EventArgs e)
  2.         {
  3.             try
  4.             {
  5.                 m_ftp.Server = txtftpServerName.Text;
  6.                 m_ftp.Username = txtftpUserName.Text;
  7.                 m_ftp.Password = txtftpPassword.Text;
  8.  
  9.                 m_ftp.Login();
  10.  
  11.                 m_ftp.ChangeDir(txtToDirectory.Text);
  12.  
  13.                 string[] fi = m_ftp.GetFileList();
  14.  
  15.                 cboFindFile.Items.AddRange(fi);
  16.  
  17.                 m_ftp.Close();
  18.             }
  19.             catch(Exception EX)
  20.             {
  21.                 MessageBox.Show("File Not Downloaded");
  22.             }
  23.         }

I dont even have a loop there but it works exactly the same ...

So GetFileList isnt returning more than 1 thing.
