How to list all the file?

[zp523444]

Dear expert,

I am using Flashfxp 3.0. I want to list all the file(include all sub-directory) inside the logined FTP and save to a text file,like the list -lr command in unix, how should I do in Flashfxp?

appreciate if u can help!!!

send raw command LIST -alR (not supported by all servers). Then you can either use Directory > copy directory to clipboard, and paste into a text file, or alternatively use Directory > View raw directory then hit File > Save as in the raw directory view.

hi, the command list only the filename and ascending list , how can I list the sub-directory (include the full path) only? thank a lot

There is no way to do that. Sorry.

I try to connect the ftp under dos prompt, but it's can't list any directory,file by command 'list'
may be the server require passive mode ...
so any other method to list?

thk!!!!

Using ftp.exe, the command you're trying to enter might be "quote list -alR". The result will be the same as the raw directory listing of FlashFXP after sending the "LIST -alR" command though.

may be the server require passive mode ...passive mode has nothing to do with what you are trying to accomplish

any method or program can do my job? the server have a list(one day one directory, from 2004 01-01 to now) that put in different directory,
it very tired and waste time to switch to all directory....

can someone share with your experience...


thk a lot

If 'LIST -alR' is unable to show files/folders from sub-directory's it means that the ftpd (ftp server) does not support the -R (recursive) extention. This means that there is no quick way to do what you are asking with flashfxp or any other ftp client that does not have good scripting support (using a custom script to go through all of the folders would take just as long as doing it manually).

If the server uses dated folders to organise new content, then i assume that the content of folders for previous days will not change so you would not need to check them very often.

If your purpose of going through many folders is to search for something specific then you can simply use 'Tools > Find Files on FTP Server'

I only execute 'list' command in dos prompt, there's nothing is displayed..

'Tools > Find Files on FTP Server'

I find this function useful, it can list all the dir/file, very good feature, thk a lot!!
I save a lot of time without switching in each directory and press ctrl-u to copy the directory list.!!!!!
