Remote directory view as tree structure through FTP connection

Hey Steve, 

Were you able to find one for Web Application? 

Thanks,
Chirag

I will modify the code and upload it on the thread you started regarding filtered file listing. In the meanwhile don't forget to check "This is correct answer" if code above worked well to populate the tree view with FTP files.

The code I have uploaded should work fine with .NET Framework 2.0. I have compiled and tried it in .NET Framework 2.0 and it worked well. Just remove using System.Linq statements where they appear, because there's no Linq in .NET 2.

In that case download source code from the post above and there you will find complete Windows Forms application which recursively lists contents of FTP server (starting from given root directory) and populates the TreeView control with files and directories found.

Sasikumar,

If you're developing Windows Forms application, then solution which is based on the same FtpClient as in your previous post can be easily developed. I've appended ZIP containing source code for the form which lets you enter FTP address and credentials and it populates the TreeView control.

Basically, solution is in this function:
private void PopulateTreeViewRecursively(FTPclient cli, TreeNode parentNode)
{

    string curDir = cli.CurrentDirectory;

    FTPdirectory dirContent = cli.ListDirectoryDetail(curDir);
    FTPdirectory subdirs = dirContent.GetDirectories();

    Hashtable dirsVisited = new Hashtable();

    foreach (FTPfileInfo file in subdirs)
    {

        dirsVisited.Add(file.Filename, null);
        cli.CurrentDirectory = file.FullName;
       
        TreeNode node = new TreeNode(file.Filename.ToUpper());

        if (parentNode != null)
            parentNode.Nodes.Add(node);
        else
            tvDirectories.Nodes.Add(node);

        PopulateTreeViewRecursively(cli, node);

    }

    foreach (FTPfileInfo file in dirContent)
        if (!dirsVisited.ContainsKey(file.Filename))
        {
            TreeNode node = new TreeNode(file.Filename);
            if (parentNode != null)
                parentNode.Nodes.Add(node);
            else
                tvDirectories.Nodes.Add(node);
        }

    if (parentNode != null)
        parentNode.Expand();

}

This function is quite similar to the function which was printing nodes on Console, only this time data are added to the TreeView.

The project attached is created in Visual Studio 2008, but should be convertible to other versions of VS if needed.

Sasikumar,

Are you building Windows Forms or Web application?

Hi,

I guess you are getting the collection of folders and files from FTP.

If so,

Look into this.
