QFtp: downloading a whole folder from a remote server.

[balazsbela]

So I managed to write a function to upload a whole folder to an ftp server, here is the code if anyone is searching this forum (like I did) in hope of finding a function like this:

void sendFolder(const QString &path,const QString &dirPath)
{
    QTextStream cout(stdout, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
    QFileInfo fileInfo(path);
    if (fileInfo.isDir())
    {
        QString dirName = path;
        dirName.remove(0,dirPath.size());
        ftp->mkdir(dirName);
        QDir dir(path);
        QStringList entries = dir.entryList(QDir::AllEntries|QDir::NoDotAndDotDot,QDir::DirsFirst);
        foreach (QString entry, entries)
        {
         sendFolder(dir.filePath(entry),dirPath);
        }
    }
    else
    {   
        QFile *file = new QFile(path);
        if(file->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
         {
          QString filename =path;
          filename.remove(0,dirPath.size());
          ftp->put(file,filename);
          file->close();
         }
         else cout <<"Could not open file:"<<path<<"\n";
    }
}

void sendFolder(const QString &path,const QString &dirPath)
{
    QTextStream cout(stdout, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
    QFileInfo fileInfo(path);
    if (fileInfo.isDir())
    {
        QString dirName = path;
        dirName.remove(0,dirPath.size());
        ftp->mkdir(dirName);
        QDir dir(path);
        QStringList entries = dir.entryList(QDir::AllEntries|QDir::NoDotAndDotDot,QDir::DirsFirst);
        foreach (QString entry, entries)
        {
         sendFolder(dir.filePath(entry),dirPath);
        }
    }
    else
    {   
        QFile *file = new QFile(path);
        if(file->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
         {
          QString filename =path;
          filename.remove(0,dirPath.size());
          ftp->put(file,filename);
          file->close();
         }
         else cout <<"Could not open file:"<<path<<"\n";
    }
}

The dirPath parameter contains the path to the local directory that contains the folder you want to upload.
If the directory you are trying to upload is: /home/user/mydir then dirPath should be /home/user/
Because the dirPath substring will be removed to create the directory mydir on the server.

Ok.
So now that I've got that working, I am trying to figure out how to download a whole folder from a remote ftp server into a local folder.
If anyone has some code that does that I would be very grateful to have it.
I searched this forum but couldn't find what I need.
Also the qt4 ftp example doesn't contain downloading a whole folder, only files.

Can anyone help me ?
Thanks.
