FTP-Functionality ?

[m0rdex]

Hi,

I've just bought Setup Factory 7.0 and the FTP-plugin.

I've installed them both, but I don't see any FTP-functions appearing in my Action-Wizard? Should they appear there?

My mission is to let the user input their FTP-address, username and password in one screen, and the screen after that i would like to let the user choose a "destination-map" on their FTP-server. All files should be copied there.

Where can i find more information about the FTP-plugin, what commands are allowed, and how to use it?

Greetings,
Mark Oudshoorn

After opening your project you have to use the menu Rescources -> Plugins and tick the FTP check box.

Click button 'About Plugin' in this screen, then click 'Plugin Help'. Voilá!

Afterthe plugin is enabled, you may use the Help button in the action wizard (like the standard).

HTH.

Okay thanx for ur reaction!

But, the question is now, how to let the user set their destination map on their ftp server?

It has to be a custom screen i think, something like a file-tree (of the FTP-server they entered). This is not a standard screen in SF7.0 .

Do i have to create a custom screen, and how do i do that??

Thanx in advance,

You could use a screen such as a "ComboBox" screen and use the action FTP.ListFolders() to get all of the folders in the FTP directory and populate the screen combobox. You could also use a ListBox screen. There is no way to create a tree view type screen but this is something that may be a good suggestion for a future major release.

Hi,

Thanx, i've thought of that too and it works now, the user can now click through his/her ftp server by a listbox!

It would make a great new feature but this works for now.

Thanx for ur help guys,
