SFtpDir C Reference Documentation

SFtpDir

Current Version: 9.5.0.97

Represents a remote SFTP directory listing.

Create/Dispose

HCkSFtpDir instance = CkSFtpDir_Create();
// ...
CkSFtpDir_Dispose(instance);
HCkSFtpDir CkSFtpDir_Create(void);

Creates an instance of the HCkSFtpDir object and returns a handle ("void *" pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

void CkSFtpDir_Dispose(HCkSFtpDir handle);

Objects created by calling CkSFtpDir_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function. Also, any handle returned by a Chilkat "C" function must also be freed by the application by calling the appropriate Dispose method, such as CkSFtpDir_Dispose.

Properties

LastMethodSuccess
BOOL CkSFtpDir_getLastMethodSuccess(HCkSFtpDir cHandle);
void CkSFtpDir_putLastMethodSuccess(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of TRUE indicates success, a value of FALSE indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = TRUE and failure = FALSE.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to TRUE. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
NumFilesAndDirs
int CkSFtpDir_getNumFilesAndDirs(HCkSFtpDir cHandle);

The number of entries in this directory listing.

top
OriginalPath
void CkSFtpDir_getOriginalPath(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkSFtpDir_originalPath(HCkSFtpDir cHandle);

The original path used to fetch this directory listing. This is the string that was originally passed to the OpenDir method when the directory was read.

top
Utf8
BOOL CkSFtpDir_getUtf8(HCkSFtpDir cHandle);
void CkSFtpDir_putUtf8(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, BOOL newVal);

When set to TRUE, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to FALSE (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to TRUE, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to FALSE, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.

Methods

GetFilename
BOOL CkSFtpDir_GetFilename(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, int index, HCkString outStr);
const char *CkSFtpDir_getFilename(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, int index);

Returns the Nth filename in the directory (indexing begins at 0).

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
GetFileObject
HCkSFtpFile CkSFtpDir_GetFileObject(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, int index);

Returns the Nth entry in the directory. Indexing begins at 0.

Returns NULL on failure

top
LoadTaskResult
BOOL CkSFtpDir_LoadTaskResult(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, HCkTask task);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.52

Loads the SFTP directory object from a completed asynchronous task.

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
Sort
void CkSFtpDir_Sort(HCkSFtpDir cHandle, const char *field, BOOL ascending);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.79

Sorts the files and sub-directories in ascending or descending order based on the field. Possible values for field are "filename", "filenameNoCase", "lastModifiedTime", "lastAccessTime", "lastCreateTime", or "size". (For case-insensitive filename sorting, use "filenameNoCase".)
