I am properly sending a nsurlrequest to download a known path file and then save it to document directory. However, now I need to download all files that a remote directory contains. I know path for directory but not which files are inside. How to list that files in order to build paths to download it? Thank you.
Unfortunately unless you parsed a index file containing a list of the files, this is not possible as the HTTP protocol does not support directory listing. You would have to use an FTP server instead

I'm trying to publish artifacts and it's other folders files as well.I've read all the docs file provide by microsoft from here and used them but none of them worked for me.
I' tried File patterns as
** =>which copied all root files to ftp
**\* => which copied all sub folders file to ftp's root directory.
What I've wanted is copy folder to folder in ftp aswell.
-artifacts ftp
--a.dll --a.dll
--subfolder --subfolder
---subfolder_1.dll ---subfolder_1.dll
what's happening is
ftp
--a.dll
--subfolder_1.dll
It's copying all sub directories file to root directory of ftp.
I've use curl and ftp both giving me same result.
How can i achieve folder to folder copy in TFS 2017.
It's not related File patterns, to upload the entire folder content recursively, simply specify **.
All you have to do is checking the Preserve file paths in Advanced option.
If selected, the relative local directory structure is recreated under
the remote directory where files are uploaded. Otherwise, files are
uploaded directly to the remote directory without creating additional
subdirectories.
For example, suppose your source folder is: /home/user/source/ and
contains the file: foo/bar/foobar.txt, and your remote directory
is: /uploads/. If selected, the file is uploaded to:
/uploads/foo/bar/foobar.txt. Otherwise, to: /uploads/foobar.txt.
I am trying to use WinSCP to access a remote HTML file, and I do have root permission. However, if I open that HTML, it seems that all the sources and scripts are dysfunctional, e.g no images, buttons etc are loaded, and no js functions work. So how can I open a HTML using WinSCP so that all the sources are loaded and work properly? Thanks a lot.
I assume you "Open" the HTML file from a remote panel of WinSCP.
This makes WinSCP download the file to a temporary local folder and open the file from there.
As all the references to images and java script files are typically relative paths, they won't work from the temporary folder as the referenced files are not there. So it cannot work.
Either you need to download all files (including images and .js) to a local folder and open the HTML there.
Or you actually want to open the file from the server, via HTTP.
For that use the WinSCP extension "Generate HTTP URL".
I’m making a simple web browser for work eeh, what I’d like to know is if its possible to save a file of a particular extension to a particular file.
I currently use google chrome when downloading a file it places this (regardless of extension) in a downloads folder without asking where I ant to download this too.
I want to achieve the same except that downloads with the extension .dwg are placed automatically in a folder named DWG DOWNLOADS…
How to achieve this in vb.net?
In any browser you have a config section.
In Firefox you have browser.download.useDownloadDir;true and browser.download.folderList;1
you can add your own config to allow different saved folder paths and dynamically modify them depending on the extension of the file you uploaded.
See a complete list of the web browser config with about:config in address bar.
Not real sure what you are asking, but if you are actually making a web browser just check the extension of the file you are requesting to download. If the extension is ".dwg" then save the file to the folder you want.
If you are wanting to automatically move Google Chrome downloads to a different directory, you can use a FileSystemWatcher to monitor for new files in Chrome's download directory and move them to another folder based on each file's extension.
I'm creating an AIR app that will load an XML file (that can be edited by the user). It will load certain images specified by the XML file.
I'm currently using File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath() to access the XML file and the images from the desktop.
The AS3 reference for the File class specifies these static properties to access files.
File.applicationStorageDirectory—a storage directory unique to each installed AIR application
File.applicationDirectory—the read-only directory where the application is installed (along with any installed assets)
File.desktopDirectory—the user's desktop directory
File.documentsDirectory—the user's documents directory
File.userDirectory—the user directory
Using these would guarantee that the directories resolve correctly for different OS platforms.
So, is my current approach of just placing the XML file and the images(under subfolders) on the desktop the way to go? The user needs to be able to access the XML file to edit it and the folders to add/remove images. Is there an alternative to doing this? I don't think I can put it in the applicationDirectory, b/c the documentation warns against putting anything there that may change.
I want to create a .htaccess file in a specific directory. I'm using Notepad++ and their plug-in for FTP (NppFTP). I'm able to create any other files and see them in the folder but when I try to create a .htaccess I don't see that file in the directory. I get no errors, it is like nothing happened.
I tried to create this file using an FTP program and it showed the file and right away it disappeared. My guess it is because this is a special file used by the system and prefixed by a (.)
What is a way to edit that file?
This is probably because your ".htaccess" file is a hidden file and your system is set up to no display hidden files.
Have a look in your Notepad++ settings if there's an option to make hidden files visible/unhide.
In addition to that check the windows folder options for that option!
switch on showing hidden files in your ftp client
