Monitor FTP Transfer Progress

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the progress properties CurBytesReceived, CurBytesReceivedStr, CurBytesSent, CurBytesSentStr, ProgressMonSize, PercentDoneScale, and AutoGetSizeForProgress.

Note: The local paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

Background: Percentage progress needs a known total, but FTP does not always report a file's size up front — so AutoGetSizeForProgress issues a SIZE command before a download, and ProgressMonSize supplies an expected size when even that is unavailable (a one-shot value consumed by the next transfer). PercentDoneScale sets the resolution of progress callbacks. The current byte counts are exposed both as 32-bit integers and as strings, the string forms avoiding integer-width limits for very large transfers.

//  Normally you would not hard-code the password in source.  You should instead obtain it
//  from an interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.

}

//  AutoGetSizeForProgress sends a SIZE command before a download so percentage-based progress can
//  be computed.
$ftp->put_AutoGetSizeForProgress(true);

//  PercentDoneScale sets the value representing one hundred percent in PercentDone callbacks.
//  1000 gives tenth-of-a-percent resolution.
$ftp->put_PercentDoneScale(1000);

//  ProgressMonSize is a one-shot expected size for the next download when the size is not
//  otherwise known.  It is consumed by the next download and reset to 0.
