How can I use the command ftp : cd and get. I tryed to do :

QNetworkRequest request ;
request.setUrl ( "cd /home/user/data get file.zip"  ) ;

but It does not work.
Do you have a idea ?

Hi and welcome to devnet forums

Best is typically to checkout one of the example already or almost doing what try to implement.

There is the network download example being pretty close.

Typically you can also create a web path for ftp downloads in your browser (e.g. Chrome in my case). This path may be used as url for direct download. Best try it out with the example code provided. In case of problems post some questions in the forum or possibly it has been already asked before.

The function is called setUrl(), so you must enter a URL. cd is not a URL.

Here are examples of URLs:

thanks for your answers.

I used the web path : request.setUrl("ftp://username:password@192.168.0.250/home/user/data/file.zip") and it works!

thank you again !
