Re: Using tsNet for sftp directory file listing
Thanks Richard,
This whole tsNet thing has got me all turned around. Of course the example
you gave works... I am just trying to figure out how this is all aligning
with the future of secured sockets.

The example I gave earlier was for your request to obtain a list of files.
To download a single file it should be as easy as just using the full
path to the file on the server, and changing "ftp" to "sftp":
get url ("sftp://name:password@server/folder/file.dat";)

Re: Using tsNet for sftp directory file listing
I am still struggling putting this code together correctly. Does anybody have any working examples of downloading a single file, via sftp protocol? I think I can work backwards from there.

It's been a while since I've used FTP, but IIRC in previous versions you could just use "get" on a directory and it'll return the file list (note that the trailing "/" is important to let libURL know it's dealing with a directory): get url "ftp://name:pass@server/folder/"; Has that changed? Using "get url /path/to/dir/" or "put url /path/to/dir/ into x" works with tsNet for both ftp and sftp protocols. You can also do the same thing using the synchronous or asynchronous tsNetGet* functions by specifying the directory with a trailing slash as the URL. As Richard said, the format varies for directory listings if you get a "full" listing. If you are just after the list of filenames, you can use "tsNetSetDirNLST true" if using tsNet commands directly, or "libUrlSetFtpListCommand 'NLST'" when using libUrl.

Re: Using tsNet for sftp directory file listing
PS: Among the many the reasons I've switched to HTTP-based APIs for most things with servers is that FTP is notoriously inconsistently implemented in terms of the info you'll get back from a directory listing. Sometimes it'll include the date, sometimes only the time. The cutoff determining that varies. Sometimes the date may include the year, sometimes not. The cutoff for that also varies. There are others - the RFP is an overflowing clown car of "sometimes" rules, all fully permissible in the name of flexibility. It's not all that bad if we remember why FTP was invented, for ad hoc access to file repositories, rather than for providing services APIs. For the latter, HTTP has proven itself time and again. If it's feasible to use LiveCode Server or some other CGI, getting lists of directory contents is easy and can be made consistent, with exactly the format your client needs. Probably much faster too. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Using tsNet for sftp directory file listing
Can anybody guide me in getting a file listing from a remote directory via SFTP connection? I currently have tsNet functioning to make the connection and uploading / downloading an individual file. However, I need to retrieve a list of files sitting in a directory. As always, your input is greatly appreciated!
