Posted on by Michael N 140

Hi,

is it not possible to use FtpWebRequest with NLIST ?

If i use  "FtpWebRequest..set_Method("NLIST");" i got error that this method is not possible.
LIST works, but the i got details, and not only the filename:

Info FTP-FileList drwxrwxrwx   1 user     group           0 Apr 24 17:28 .
Info FTP-FileList drwxrwxrwx   1 user     group           0 Apr 24 17:21 ..
Info FTP-FileList -rw-rw-rw-   1 user     group   253555565 Feb 18  2011 Backup_manuell_2011_02_18.zip
Info FTP-FileList drwxrwxrwx   1 user     group           0 Apr 24 17:28 tmp
Info FTP-FileList 226 Transfer ok.

But I only want the filename  from ftp-directory to download the file.

Is it possbile to get only filname with System.Net.FtpWebRequest  in AX-Code?

Best regards
Michael

    I think you need to use NLST rather than NLIST.

    Best wishes

    Yes, NLST works.

    I  found only NLIST

    ListDirectory  = Represents the FTP NLIST protocol method that gets a short listing of the files on an FTP server.

    (msdn.microsoft.com/.../system.net.webrequestmethods.ftp_fields(v=vs.100).aspx)

    Thanks

    I think it may be a case of a spelling mistake on the Microsoft site.
