    Question Scanning a directory on ftp

    Can someone tell me some functions that search a directory on ftp or a website that explains how to do this. I can scan the harddrive with FindFirstFile, FindNextFile, but I need to know how to do it on ftp.

    Thanks

    The API has functions prefixed with 'ftp' that may be of some interest to you, eg. FtpFindFirstFile.

    thanks Ken Fitlike,

    I tried to write a program to scan a ftp and it works, but it only displays the first file. Could you help me figure out whats wrong with this code?

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <Wininet.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        WIN32_FIND_DATA pDirInfo;
        HINTERNET hDir;
    	HINTERNET intOpen;
    	HINTERNET hConnect;
    	char userName[100]="";
    	char password[100]="";
    	char server[100]="";
    
    	cout << "Enter the server: ";
    	cin  >> server;
    	cout << "Enter your user name: ";
    	cin  >> userName;
    	cout << "Enter your password: ";
    	cin  >> password;
    
    	intOpen = InternetOpen("Microsoft Internet Explorer", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT,
    		NULL, NULL,INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC);
    	hConnect = InternetConnect(intOpen, server, INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT,
    		userName, password, INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP, INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP, 0);
    
    	hDir = FtpFindFirstFile(hConnect, "*.*", &pDirInfo,
    			INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE, 0);
    	cout << "\nRoot Dir Contains:\n" << pDirInfo.cFileName << "\n";
    
    	while(InternetFindNextFile (hDir, &pDirInfo))
    		cout << pDirInfo.cFileName << "\n";
    
       	return 0;
    }

    Exactly..... no bumping threads.... (and no grovelling, either )
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    FtpFindFirstFile/FtpFindNextFile

    Makes sense, huh? Look them both up on MSDN. (msdn.microsoft.com)

    There is no FtpFindNextFile, its InternetFindNextFile.
