FtpCommand & 'NLST'

[raykos]

Hello group,

I'm using the 'FtpCommand' in synchronous mode and I'm able to get back a
data buffer when I send 'NLST'; but, since I'm synchronous is there any way
of knowing and reading when the '226 data channel closed' comes back, since
this response
is coming from the control channel? I can use 'InternetGetLastResponseInfo',
but when to use it, since I don't know when something is available?

FtpCommand(g_hConnection, TRUE, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII,
"NLST", 0, &g_hResponse);

::InternetGetLastResponseInfo(&temp_int,temp_str,&length);

InternetReadFile(g_hResponse,bDataBuffer,4096,&dwBytesRead);

while(dwBytesRead > 0)
{
bDataBuffer[dwBytesRead] = '\0';
InternetReadFile(g_hResponse,bDataBuffer,4096,&dwBytesRead);
}

::InternetGetLastResponseInfo(&temp_int,temp_str,&length);


Any help appreciated,

TIA,
Ray K.

I think you need to send a PASV or PORT command, then an NLST command, then
open the port to get the listing using WinSock.
