Get FTP Directory Listing as XML

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how to call GetXmlDirListing and parse the results. Rust

// This example assumes Chilkat Ftp2 to have been previously unlocked.
// See Unlock Ftp2 for sample code.

let ftp = chilkat::Ftp2::new();

ftp.set_hostname("www.my-ftp-server.com");
ftp.set_username("mFtpLogin");
ftp.set_password("myFtpPassword");

// Connect to the FTP server.
if ftp.connect_only().is_err() {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Authenticate with the FTP server.
if ftp.login_after_connect_only().is_err() {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Retrieve (in XML format) the HOME directory of this FTP account.
let Ok(xml_listing) = ftp.get_xml_dir_listing("*.*") else {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
};

// Now load the XML and parse it..
let xml = chilkat::Xml::new();
let _ = xml.load_xml(&xml_listing);
println!("{}", xml.get_xml().unwrap_or_default());

// Iterate over the XML...
let mut i = 0;
let num_entries = xml.num_children();
while i < num_entries {
    let x_entry = xml.get_child(i).unwrap();
    if x_entry.tag_equals("dir") {
        println!("Directory: {}", x_entry.content());
    } else {
        let sz = x_entry.get_child_int_value("size");
        println!("File: {}, size: {}", x_entry.get_child_content("name").unwrap_or_default(), sz);
        if let Ok(x_last_mod) = x_entry.find_child("lastModTime") {
            let month = x_last_mod.get_attr_value_int("m");
            let year = x_last_mod.get_attr_value_int("y");
            let day = x_last_mod.get_attr_value_int("d");
            println!("    YYYY-MM-DD: {}-{}-{}", year, month, day);

        }

    }

    i = i + 1;
}

let _ = ftp.disconnect();

println!("Success.");
