FTP
[User Protocols]

Collaboration diagram for FTP:


Detailed Description

File transfer protocol.

Note, that FTP servers don't make much sense without a file system providing write access. Right now, FTP had been tested with the PNUT file system only.

Function Documentation

int NutFtpRespondOk FTPSESSION session,
int  code
 

Send a positive response.

Parameters:
session Pointer to an FTPSESSION structure, obtained by a previous call to NutFtpOpenSession().
code Response code.
Returns:
-1 if the session ended. Otherwise 0 is returned.

int NutFtpRespondBad FTPSESSION session,
int  code
 

Send a negative response.

Parameters:
session Pointer to an FTPSESSION structure, obtained by a previous call to NutFtpOpenSession().
code Response code.
Returns:
-1 if the session ended. Otherwise 0 is returned.

int NutFtpSendMode FTPSESSION session,
int  binary
 

Send a response including the specified transfer mode.

Parameters:
session Pointer to an FTPSESSION structure, obtained by a previous call to NutFtpOpenSession().
binary 0 indicates ASCII transfer mode.
Returns:
-1 if the session ended. Otherwise 0 is returned.

char* CreateFullPathName char *  root,
char *  work,
char *  path
 

Create an absolute path name.

Combines an absolute directory path with a relative path name to a full absolute path name. The absolute directory is split into two parts, the root and the current work directory. The resulting path will never be above the specified root.

Parameters:
root Non-empty absolute root directory path including the device name, but without a trailing slash.
work Absolute work directory path below root including a leading, but without a trailing slash. This path is ignored if the relative path starts with a slash.
path Relative path name of a file or directory without any trailing slash.
Returns:
Pointer to the resulting path name. The buffer for this name is allocated from heap memory. The caller is responsible for freeing it. In case of an error, a NULL pointer is returned.

TCPSOCKET* NutFtpDataConnect FTPSESSION session  ) 
 

Establish an FTP connection for data transfer.

Parameters:
session Pointer to an FTPSESSION structure, obtained by a previous call to NutFtpOpenSession().
Returns:
Socket descriptor of the newly created data connection or 0 if we were unable to establish the connection.

int NutRegisterFtpRoot CONST char *  path  ) 
 

Register the FTP server's root directory.

Only one root directory is supported. Subsequent calls will override previous settings.

Parameters:
path Path name of the root directory. Must include the device name followed by a colon followed by an absolute directory path. May be set to NULL for the default FTP_ROOTPATH.
Returns:
0 on success, -1 otherwise.

int NutRegisterFtpUser CONST char *  user,
CONST char *  pass
 

Register an FTP user.

Only one username/password pair is supported. Subsequent calls will override previous settings.

Warning:
Not successfully registering any will make file systems accessible by anyone.
Parameters:
user User's name.
pass Uncrypted password for the specified user.
Returns:
0 on success. -1 is returned on failures, in which case no protection may be assumed.

FTPSESSION* NutFtpOpenSession TCPSOCKET sock  )

sock Socket of an established TCP connection.
Returns:
Pointer to an FTPSESSION structure, which can be used in subsequent API calls. NULL is returned in case of any error.

path Full absolute path name of the file.
mode If set to zero, the server will accept the data transferred via the data connection and to store the data as a file. If the file exists, then its contents will be replaced by the data being transferred. A new file is created, if the file does not already exist. If this parameter is not equal zero, then the server will transfer a copy of the specified file.
Returns:
0 if the command has been processed or -1 if the session has been aborted.

int NutFtpTransferDirectory FTPSESSION session,
