How to list server/website files & folders and download selected file??

[mdarkness]

I am trying to find out how to view server files and download the selected file i picked.

And if possible i could filler the result by keywords likes using a edittext.

I tried using FTP but i could never seem to make it work so i was wondering if there is a another way maybe using httpclient lib or something?

Please help as i been trying to do this for some time now but no luck.

Do you have a FTP server running? If yes then this should be the simplest solution.

FTP is the solution you need to use. Fetch the files from the server and list them in some kind of view (component).

Then you can select one of the files from the listing.

Once selected, you can use FTP again to do the actual download to your device.

It will work fine. What you are trying to do is what FTP was made for.

Sub Globals

Dim ListView1 As ListView

End Sub


Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

FTP.Initialize("FTP", "127.0.0.1", 21, "user", "password")
FTP.PassiveMode=True
FTP.List("/")

End Sub


Sub FTP_ListCompleted (ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean, Folders() As FTPEntry, Files() As FTPEntry)
     
     
   For i = 0 To Files.Length -1
        ListView1.AddSingleLine(Files(i).name)
    Next
    
   
   
   
End Sub
