B4J Question sftp.List( sFolder ) doesn't return a list

B4JExplorer · Mar 14, 2014

Hi,

How do you get a list of files on an sftp server, after you initialize? The syntax

lstFiles = sftpTest.List( sFolder )

seems to indicate that List( sServerPath ) returns a void.

... also, I tried using

sftpTest.List( sFolder )
...
...
...

Sub sftpTest_ListCompleted( ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean, Folders() As SFtpEntry, Files() As SFtpEntry )

...
...

End Sub

, but it never gets there.

Hate to say this, but more actual samples are needed. So many of my questions, could be answered simply, by a combination of more sample code and trial & error.

You should read the documentation...

The SFTP tutorial covers the unique points related to SFTP and then says that the other methods are covered in the FTP tutorial:
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-sftp-based-on-jsch-tutorial.26994/
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-ftp-tutorial.10407/#post-57940

The FTP tutorial explains these methods.

Yeah, I read it previously. And I just re-read it, and still don't see an example of what I'm trying to accomplish.

... for example,

http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-ftp-tutorial.10407/#post-57940

shows FTP_ListCompleted

, but this doesn't work in an sftp context. This routine never executes.

Can you post your code?

Sure, will do so, from the office on Monday.

fyi, this is a non-ui application.

Make sure to call StartMessageLoop. Otherwise the program will end before the event is raised.

Damn. I'll bet ya that's it.

Ok, will give it a try, thanks Erel.

Yep, that was the missing piece, thanks Erel.
