Can't get FTP Connection

[AlanT1337]

Hello Community,
I'm trying to upload a file to my FTP Server (Filezilla, running on localhost). But for some reason I don't get any connection. Neither do I get any errors by Qt. Here a code snippet:

void Upload::upload_video(){
    QString filename = "cut.mp4";
    QFile file(filename);
    QUrl uploadurl("ftp://localhost/cut.mp4");
    uploadurl.setUserName("user");
    uploadurl.setPassword("password");
    QNetworkRequest upload(uploadurl);
    QNetworkAccessManager *uploadman = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
    uploadman->put(upload, &file);
    qDebug()<<"Done"<<endl;
}

I have checked for errors aswell already, using this code:

    connect(reply, &QNetworkReply::finished, this, &Upload::get_reply);
    connect(reply, SIGNAL(error(QNetworkReply::NetworkError)), SLOT(requestError(QNetworkReply::NetworkError)));
    //and
    void Upload::get_reply() {
        qDebug()<<"finished!!!";
    }

I don't get any connection tries in my FileZilla Server logs, but I don't get any errors either. I hope somebody can help me :(

I don't think this is how you do FTP. Seems like you are doing an HTTP put request

@asanka424 Really? Then I'm confused. The normal QFtp Class was removed(or not tupported anymore) as far as I know and this is the only example on FTP that I could find. :( Sorry if I'm wrong. Could anyone show me an example for FTP then? Or link me a site that explains how to. On Google I only find examples that are like my code :S

Anyway, thanks for the answer :)

Sorry I didn't see your URL.
However are you assigning output of your put() to a network reply?

Hi,

QFtp for Qt 5 can be found here

[AlanT1337]

@SGaist Hey, thanks man! :) But I heard that it is pretty unsafe, is that true? :S And also, if I use it in one of my programs, can the user somehow read out the password? :o

@SGaist
I'm trying to get qftp running atm. I'm trying to build the qftp project, but I get the error

:-1: Fehler: Failed to run: perl -w C:\Qt\5.5\msvc2013\bin\syncqt.pl -module QtFtp -version 5.0.0 -outdir C:/Qtsrc/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/build-qtftp-Desktop_Qt_5_5_1_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug C:/Qtsrc/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtftp

So I googled it and found another thread where somebody had the same problem. He just installed perl and it worked for him. So I just installed perl aswell, but it's still not working. I heard that I need to add the Perl path somehwere or something but I'm not sure and even if I dont know how to. I hope you can help me :(

If you want to make perl accessible system wide, then you have to modify the PATH environment variable.

As for safety, don't put a password inside your application code but that's valid for any service.
