Re: Get A Full Directory Structure (General questions)

Oh my hehe... I should have read the docs better! I just coded my own recursivity function.

I wonder what loopitems does however if parsing fails halfway on an FTP with 20000 or more folders, does it have to entirely restart or does it know where it left off?

For that reason, it can be good to have your own procedure, like this thing that I came up with: (error trapping must of course be added still)

You dim an array() and a counter
You put the startpath in the array

Array(1) = /startpath/

You start a nested for each loop:

counter = 1
For Each thing in Array()

objFTP.ListDir array(counter) '/ get dirlisting

for each item in DirItemsCollection() '/ wodftpdlx.diritems()
debug.print item.name '/ display item (dir or file)
if item.type = directory then '/ populate array with dirs to CWD to
counter = counter + 1
Array(counter) = item.Name '/ only dirs are put here
next item

Next thing

Or you can use the ListItems event, to extract your data from after listing the initial path.

Just thought you'd like to know that my gateway app with your SMTP Server component held the line against a DDOS attack today...

May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?
