Hello,
I have been trying to learn how to use the IdFTP component by Indy, and I have found myself stuck at a certain point.

I am having difficulties returning all the directories in a current directory. I am able to return all the files, or every single item in the FTP space, but not just directories.

I have done some google searching and tried their methods, but I just get errors and stuff. I was wondering if anyone here knew how to return just directories using the IdFTP component.

Thanks,
The Lone Programmer

That displays all files and folders.

What about just directories.

IdFTP.List(TStrings, '*.*', False) - Does only files
IdFTP.List(TStrings, '', False) - Does files and folders
IdFTP.List(TStrings, '*', False) - Does all files, folders, and subjunk

What about JUST folders?

Thanks,

Are folders able to contain the period(.) character? Cause I just realized that I could do:
If String<>Contain Period(.) Then Label As Directory Else Label As File

I don't know what characters folders are allowed to have.

the .blablabla files means system files or something..

take a look at the list that the .list() command gives you~
in that list it exactly says if its folder,file or system file.
it also says the access parameters to that folder/file on same line.

it goes something like:
-rw------- 1 peter 848 Dec 14 11:22 00README.txt

the "-rw-------" is the access limit for the file/folder..

You know, in DOS if you do

DIR *.

It just brings a list of directories. Have you tried *. as a parameter?
