See API Changes to Qt Network https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sourcebreaks.html

*The QFtp and QUrlInfo classes are no longer exported. Use QNetworkAccessManager instead. Programs that require raw FTP or HTTP streams can use the Qt FTP and Qt HTTP compatibility add-on modules that provide the QFtp and QHttp classes as they existed in Qt 4.
*

Personally I recommend for new implementations using QNetworkAccessManager directly. The source code referenced in the doc snippet is more compatibility IMHO.

Checkout the original text in link given
@koahnig said in QtFtp or QtAccessManagerNetwork:

See API Changes to Qt Network https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sourcebreaks.html

This shall point to the source code. I had done way back with Qt 5.5 or so. With the source code you download also the guidelines AFAIR.

@koahnig and where to add it ? in the path directory ?

@Zunneh

You can keep it seperately as your library. There you would use in .pro INCLUDEPATH += and add the lib manually. I kept it seperately for my tests.

I believe within the instructions you shall find also how to integrate with your Qt installations.

Practically I got rid of QtFtp as fast as possible.

i trieed this one but always same error, in the header file (screen 2 ) i have to include all the path ? thanks

@Zunneh

Use '/' instead of '\' in typing path values in .pro. That makes life easier. '\' would be start of a continuation line in .pro files.
IMHO use linux notation on windows as well.
