QFtp - determine current directory

magguz

Hi,

how can I determine the current directory on a FTP-Server which I'm connected with? I tried already the rawCommand() of QFtp like this:

ftp.rawCommand("PWD")

So the ftp command "PWD" detects the directory. But how can I access the value of this command? I used a connect statement:

connect(ftp, SIGNAL(commandFinished(int,bool)), this, SLOT(pwd()), Qt::UniqueConnection);

Within the slot "pwd()" I want to get the value of the working directory.

Or is there a better solution how I can determine the directory?

Hi,

From a quick look to the sources, isn't rawCommandReply what you are looking for ?

Hi,

I also tried this:

connect(ftp, SIGNAL(rawCommandReply(int,QString)), this, SLOT(pwd()), Qt::UniqueConnection);

But how can I now get the returned value of ftp.rawCommand("PWD") ?

Hi, you need to add the parameters (int, QString) from the signal to your slot as they contain the data ;)

Hi, happy new year!

Can you explain this a little bit more in detail? I've put the parameters to the slot like this:

connect(ftp, SIGNAL(rawCommandReply(int,QString)), this, SLOT(pwd(int,QString)), Qt::UniqueConnection);

Is that correct? How I can now get the value of ftp.rawCommand("PWD") ?

From http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qftp.html#rawCommandReply :
void QFtp::rawCommandReply(int replyCode, const QString & detail), so your slot should have the same signature: void YourClass::pwd(int replyCode, const QString &directory). Connect the slot to the signal aus you already wrote before.

And I guess the answer will now be in the slot parameter directory afterwards :)

Thanks! Now it works great.
