Add QFTP module in qt5

Zunneh

Hello guys, i want to add QFTP module to qt5, after download the source file from github, what is the next steps ?

please try to be the most explicit step by step, 4 days past and i m blocked to add this module , thanks

note : don't tell me there is QNetworkAcessManager because i need the QFtp for list() method

What did you try exactly? What did not work?
I would simply trying to run qmake inside the source dir and/or create a separate build dir and call qmake from there with the path to the qtftp.pro file

I cannot help you with how to get QFtp working, but....

I know your question here comes as a result of your https://forum.qt.io/topic/104526/download-a-folder-with-qnetworkaccessmanager-instead-of-file. Before you have to commit to getting QFtp to work, I did ask you there:

That means you won't be able to get a list of folder contents from server so that you can then ask it to download each one. (Unless your attempt to get() the folder URL returned anything like a list of files?)

Did you check what your attempt to get() the folder URL actually returns? You said "it diidn't work (to do the download)", but does it return anything?

get() didn't return anything, i saw in other post that the only solution for my problem is to install QFTP

@Christian-Ehrlicher i dowloaded this file, i put the directory in my desktop and i open the qtftp.pro ,then i tried Qmake no error , but when i try to build it says error

Just to let you know: once someone has helped you to get this compiled, for sample code which will copy a directory recursively via QFtp see http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1405552 (search for recursively; code is old but principle is correct, hopefully it still works). Listing is also covered in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23067695/qt-4-7-how-to-iterate-through-files-in-an-ftp-directory.

@JonB Thank you , hope now someone help me to install the QFtp module

The readme states:

"Note: If you downloaded the source package from a hosting service
such as Gitorious, the package does not contain the generated headers
under the ./include directory. Before building, you'll need to generate
them manually by running the syncqt Perl script. For example:

cd qtftp
<QTDIR>/bin/syncqt.pl -version 5.x.y"

@Christian-Ehrlicher
I wonder how many Windows users will have Perl installed?! :)

Christian Ehrlicher

@JonB : if you want to compile Qt then you have to. And since QtFtp was a part of Qt and is now deprecated it's buildsystem was never ported away from this.

JonB

@Christian-Ehrlicher
OIC, I have never compiled Qt, I did wonder whether that process might require Perl.
I remember when Perl was first invented, I had to compile it then :)

@JonB I installed perl, and python. Even switched my old laptop completely over to linux.
The things Qt made me do over the years. Stuff I swore I wouldn't ever touch again, yet here I am ...
-_-

@J.Hilk i need to install perl to execute that script ? thanks

Hi
yes it seems so to generate some important headers.
You can get it from here
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.14.2.1402/

Hi
Had to try it.
You can call it like

E:\qtftp-master>perl C:\Qt\5.12.3\msvc2017_64\bin\syncqt.pl -version 5.12.3

make sure to change the path to right one and also the Qt version

and it did create the include folder.
