FTPGetFirstFile Function

Overview

The FTPGetFirstFile function attempts to match the specified target pattern to the remote server’s file system and returns the first matching filename.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = FTPGetFirstFile ( handle hFTP, string target );

Parameters

hFTP

A handle to an FTP connection. Use the FTPOpenConnection function to open a connection.

target

A string containing a path ending in a filename or wildcard mask. The filename portion of name can include wildcard characters (for example, an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?)). The path should utilize forward slashes style path delimiters.

Return Value

A string containing the name of the first file found or empty for an error. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve further information.

Remarks

The FTP get first/next functions operate in the same manner and the GetFirstFile and GetNextFile functions and in fact the associated function to retrieve file properties can also be used. Do not use the GetName function since the underlying object is the FTP connection, not the enumeration.

For FTP, only a single enumeration can be performed at any one time for a connection (this is why there is not a separate enumeration handle. To reset the current enumeration, simply call FTPGetFirstFile again.
