grasshopper3 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Does anyone have any code that will retrieve the modified date of a file on an FTP site? Or code that is close that I can modify? I have most of the FTP connection code I just don't know how to retrieve the mod. date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Does anyone have any code that will retrieve the modified date of a file on an FTP site? Or code that is close that I can modify? I have most of the FTP connection code I just don't know how to retrieve the mod. date. I did a bit of research about this the last time you asked but LIFE got in the way and I didn't get back. The only thing I've found is _FTP_ListToArrayEx Get names, sizes, attributes aand times of files/dir of current remote directory. it returns and array containing Array[0][0] = number of found entries Array[x][0] Filename Array[x][1] Filesize Array[x][2] FileAttribute Array[x][3] File Modification datetime Array[x][4] File Creation datetime Array[x][5] File Access datetime You could write a function that takes the path and file name. The function could then search through the array to find the file and get the date. Be careful the testing I did produced the wrong format for date (day & month reversed), however it's to be fixed in the next release. Let me know how you go.

grasshopper3 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I too thought of this method, but when I looked at the function, _FTP_ListToArrayEx(), it doesn't seem to have a path parameters. So it seems to only retrieve the mod. date of the files in the directory that you make the _FTPConnection() connection to. I also thought that I would look to see how that function was able to get the mod. date, but I was unable to follow it all that well. If you know how to get the _FTP_ListToArrayEx() function to "inventory" different directories, please let me know. Thanks for you time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for you time! #include <FTPEx.au3> #include <Array.au3> $server = '' $username = '' $pass = '' $directory = "" $Open = _FTP_Open('MyFTP Control') $Conn = _FTP_Connect($Open, $server, $username, $pass) _FTP_DirSetCurrent($Conn, $directory) $aFile = _FTP_ListToArrayEx($Conn, 2,0,0) ;Parameters ;$l_FTPSession as returned by _FTP_Connect(). ;$Return_type [optional] 0 = Both Files and Directories, 1 = Directories, 2 = Files. ;$l_Flags [optional] see _FTP_FindFileFirst(). ;$b_Fmt [optional] type on the date strings : 1 = yyyy/mm/dd, 0 = mm/dd/yyyy. (ERROR here***) ;$l_Context [optional] A variable that contains the application-defined value that associates this search with any application data. This is only used if the application has already called _FTP_SetStatusCallback() to set up a status callback function. If $aFile[0][0] = 0 Then MsgBox(0,"ERROR: _FTP_ListToArrayEx","command failed") Else ConsoleWrite('array count = ' & UBound($aFile)& ' -> Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) _ArrayDisplay($aFile) EndIf ;ConsoleWrite('$Filename = ' & $aFile[1] & @crlf) $Ftpc = _FTP_Close($Open) That should give you a good start. Good Luck!
