QFtp list()

[magguz]

@mrjj

I changed the addToList() to addToList(const QUrlInfo & file)
Now I get an object named "file" for every directory entry, right?

[mrjj]

@magguz
yes you get an URL object for each file
and the (QUrlInfo) file has a function called
name() that returns a QString.

now I want to append the strings to a textEdit like this:

ui->textEdit->append(file.name());

but it doesn't work

[mrjj]

@magguz
in what way "doesn't work" ?
What does it append?
is the addToList called ?

no it seems that addToList is not called. It appends nothing.

@magguz
well check all your connects like
qDebug() << "status:" << connect(xxxx); // xxxx being what u have
and see they return true.
also test that it does connect to the server. check errors and such.

I found what was wrong. I changed

ftp->login("","");

in

ftp->login();

and it works. Thanks for your help!

There is still one thing: In the TextEdit he lists all entries sixteen times

Hi
well
what does file.name() contains ?
in
ui->textEdit->append(file.name());

I cant guess , please debug it using the debugger so you can see what happens.

I changed the connect statements like this:

connect(ftp, SIGNAL(listInfo(const QUrlInfo &)), this, SLOT(addToList(const QUrlInfo &)), Qt::UniqueConnection);

I added only Qt::UniqueConnection as parameter. Now everything is fine :-)

[mrjj]

@magguz
Ahh, you might have added the connect many times :)
well UniqueConnection solves also :)
