Ftp.GetRawList Method

Namespace: Rebex.Net
Assembly: Rebex.Ftp.dll (version 7.0.9147)

GetRawList(String, FtpListingType)

Retrieves the raw list of files and directories as received from the server.

Declaration
public string[] GetRawList(string arguments, FtpListingType listingType)
Parameters
Type Name Description
String arguments

Arguments for the list command.
FtpListingType listingType

The listing command to use.
Returns
Type Description
String[]

The array of response lines.
Remarks

This method supports retrieving the raw listings using either the LIST command or MLSD command. Using GetList is a better choice in most cases, because it returns the parsed list, unlike GetRawList(String, FtpListingType).

Please note that requesting a FtpListingType.MachineProcessingList list will only work on servers that support this extension - this can be determined using the SupportedExtensions property.

Caution: The meaning of the arguments argument is not defined by RFC and varies from server to server. Some servers interpret it as parameters to dir command, some as a filename, some ignore it and some report an error. Calling this method with arguments other than null is not recommended and will make your code incompatible with many FTP servers.
