Hi,
I finally got my
code working to use FTP URLs to connect to other machines. But I still
have a problem.
Even if you add a
username and password, an FTP URL appears to be restricted to referencing files
that exist below the home directory of the logged in user. I need to be
able to list directories and retrieve files from absolute paths relative to the
root directory.
I saw something
mentioned in the Apple docs where you could specify an absolute FTP URL
as:
However, this
doesn't work. It still attempts to find dir1 starting at the user's home
directory.
Am I using the right
syntax? Do I need to set some special property in the URL stream? Is
this supposed to work at all?
The ability to FTP
arbitrary files from the server is critical functionality for my
application and if the URL approach isn't going to work, I need to know right
away. I've wasted enough time getting here and really just need to get
this working and move on.
Thanks,
Terry
