Working with FTP File System

The following examples demonstrate how to add files from an FTP server to an archive and extract files from an archive onto an FTP server.

Adding files on an FTP server to a Zip file

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using ComponentPro.Compression;
using ComponentPro.Net;
using ComponentPro.IO;

...

// Create a ZIP file.
Zip zipFile = new Zip();

zipFile.Create(@"c:\test.zip");

Ftp ftp = new Ftp();
// Connect to the FTP server.
ftp.Connect("demo.componentpro.com", 21);
// Authenticate.
ftp.Authenticate("test", "test");
// Create a new instance of the TransferOptions class. 
// There are many advanced option in the TransferOptions class such as Recursive, allowing empty directory creation, etc.
TransferOptions opt = new TransferOptions();
// Download files(*.cs, *.vb, and *.exe files) from the root folder to the ZIP file directly.
ftp.Download("/*.cs;*.vb;*.exe", false, null, zipFile, "", opt);
ftp.Disconnect();

zipFile.Close();

Imports System.Text
Imports ComponentPro.Compression
Imports ComponentPro.Net
Imports ComponentPro.IO

...

' Create a ZIP file. 
Dim zipFile As New Zip()

zipFile.Create("c:\test.zip")

Dim ftp As New Ftp()
' Connect to the FTP server.
ftp.Connect("demo.componentpro.com", 21)
' Authenticate.
ftp.Authenticate("test", "test")
' Create a new instance of the TransferOptions class. 
' There are many advanced option in the TransferOptions class such as Recursive, allowing empty directory creation, etc. 
Dim opt As New TransferOptions()
' Download files(*.cs, *.vb, and *.exe files) from the root folder to the ZIP file directly.
ftp.Download("/*.cs;*.vb;*.exe", False, Nothing, zipFile, "", opt)
ftp.Disconnect()

zipFile.Close()

Extracting files from a Zip file onto an FTP server

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using ComponentPro.IO;
using ComponentPro.Net;
using ComponentPro.Compression;

...

// Connect to an FTP file system.
Ftp ftp = new Ftp();
ftp.Connect("192.168.126.128", 2222);
ftp.Authenticate("test", "test");

// Open an existing zip file.
Zip zip = new Zip();

zip.Open("test.zip");

// Extract and upload all files within the archive to the FTP server. 
// This operation directly uploads files to the FTP server, no temporary files created.
zip.ExtractAll(ftp, "", FileOverwriteMode.Overwrite);

zip.Close();
ftp.Disconnect();

Imports System.Text
Imports ComponentPro.IO
Imports ComponentPro.Net
Imports ComponentPro.Compression

...

' Connect to an FTP file system. 
Dim ftp As New Ftp()
ftp.Connect("192.168.126.128", 2222)
ftp.Authenticate("test", "test")

' Open an existing zip file. 
Dim zip As New Zip()

zip.Open("test.zip")

' Extract and upload all files within the archive to the FTP server. 
' This operation directly uploads files to the FTP server, no temporary files created.
zip.ExtractAll(ftp, "", FileOverwriteMode.Overwrite)

zip.Close()
ftp.Disconnect()
