FTP Library

Hello, I already post this question but i don't have any answer.

I look at how to connect at a FTP Server and compare if this file name for example "OK" or not.

Thanks for your time

If you keep asking and get no replies, perhaps you need to ask a better question.
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

For example,
Which OS are you using?
Which compiler are you using?
Are you using an FTP library such as libcurl or are you rolling your own code using sockets?

> and compare if this file name for example "OK" or not.
What does this even mean?

Hello,
Sorry for my English,


So I explain the purpose of our program:


Compiler: DEV C ++ or codeblocks
OS: Using on a Windows 7 but compiling on Windows 10


Details:


Start -> Log in every 30 minutes on the ftp -> if on, then execute this command "shutdown -s 30 (for example)"; if not, then do nothing

As u can see, normally we don't need library's


Thanks a lot for your help

> if on, then execute this command "shutdown -s 30 (for example)";
FTP stands for File Transfer Prototcol. It transfers files between to machines.

If you want to issue commands to a remote shell, you need something else.

By "on", I assume you mean the remote machine is up, and is able to accept network connections.

Rebooting the remote machine every 30 minutes seems like a DoS attack to me.

hello

no, it's not a DDOS hack it's because we can' stay always connected on the ftp, and
i forget to tell this :
Start -> Log in every 30 minutes on the ftp -> Check if there is marked on in the file.txt --> if on, then execute this command "shutdown -s 30 (for example)"; if not, then do nothing

thanks

Do you want a drawing ? Because, with my english, it's hard to explain to u...
Sorry about that

Well you can script the command line FTP program to fetch a given file for you.
Microsoft Windows Command-Line FTP Command List

You can then examine the file locally to see if it contains your "on marker" is present.

How you then "shutdown -s 30" on any machine (other than the one you're on) is anyone's guess. Perhaps some remote admin capability (I'm not a windows user if I can avoid it).

But I am "noob" in prog c or c++. Can you help me about the code ? Because i want a executable application, and i don't know where to start with my code...

I suggest you start learning some basic programming skills then.

Because in your current state of noob-ness, your contribution in "Can you help me about the code ?" is basically going to be zero, and someone else (not me) is going to wind up doing all the work.

No i don't say this... Just help how can I use "Microsoft Windows Command-Line FTP" in my code

Up ! please

Need help please....

Just how I can use the fp libary..
Thanks a lot
Best regards

You have yet to ask a question that makes sense to me.

I suggest you find a programming site in your native language or at least one you know better than English.

Try libcurl. https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

If you're a newbie to c, why not try Python programming instead. There are many Internet networking books on python. Using ftp libraries in c seems tedious if you're trying to perform small tasks.

Ok Thanks, i gonna try this !
