    Question Sending Binary File with QFTP

    I know this is a Major Noob question, but all the examples i can find are of an FTP GET not an FTP PUT. I have several of the books on QT, nothing on Opening a file and PUTing it..


    All i want to do is see some examples of opening a file and using QFTP PUTing it to a remote ftp as anonymous

    The transfer must be binary safe.

    I have this code to update a combo box with a filename from a browse button...
    Qt Code:
    1. void Window::browse()
    2. {
    3. QString directory = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,
    4. tr("Open File"), QDir::currentPath());
    5. if (!directory.isEmpty()) {
    6. directoryComboBox->addItem(directory);
    7. directoryComboBox->setCurrentIndex(directoryComboBox->currentIndex() + 1);
    8. }
    9. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    This works fine, then when they push Send it calls "sendFile", but I cannot link the "directoryComboBox" to the QFTP PUT... and send it to the server.

    Send File Code...
    Qt Code:
    1. void Window::sendFile()
    2. {
    3.  
    4. cancelButton->setEnabled(true);
    5.  
    6. ftp = new QFtp(this);
    7.  
    8. /* This holds the remote server IP Address */
    9. ftp->connectToHost(printerComboBox->currentText());
    10.  
    11. /* These Status labels are broken they work but show sending file allways, need to do better checking later */
    12. statusLabel->setText(tr("Connecting to printer at %1 using FTP")
    13. .arg(printerComboBox->currentText()));
    14. ftp->login();
    15.  
    16. statusLabel->setText(tr("%1 - Logging in...")
    17. .arg(printerComboBox->currentText()));
    18.  
    19. /* NEED TO REPLACE THIS WITH THE PROPER FILE OPEN AND SEND */
    20. ftp->list();
    21.  
    22. statusLabel->setText(tr("%1 - Sending File...")
    23. .arg(printerComboBox->currentText()));
    24. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I put in the "list();" command where the FTP PUT should be to make sure that the QFTP was doing something on the network, which it does. Now i need to actually open the file and send it.

    Thanks all, this is my first ... Real (one that does something) QT network APP. Thanks for the assistance.

    Default Re: Sending Binary File with QFTP

    Try something like this:
    Qt Code:
    1. QFile *file = new QFile("filepath", this);
    2. file->open(QFile::ReadOnly);
    3. ftp->put(file, "remotefilename");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
