You'll need to provide this info on reconnect.
Thanks

Hi Rory.
Basically I'm talking about everything needed to connect to a server.
- login/password information
- host / IP address of server
- passive / active connection information
- system type
- timezone, etc
- basically everything to do with setting up a connection to a server
That way you can connect and disconnect from the server just by calling
connect() or disconnect() without having to set up the FTPClient every
time.
The file monitor program I'm writing (with regards to FTP) requires that
I pass through an object and the filename to monitor, but this could be
multiple FTP locations with files for each location.
With the FTPClient as it stands I would need to set up the connection
each time I connected because the disconnect would reset everything back
to defaults.
I hope that explains it better.
All the best,
Tony

Not really sure I understand the question - what configuration
information are you talking about?

OK. This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask anyway.
What is the lifespan of an FTPClient object?
OR.... Do I need to recreate the configuration information each time
I
connect and disconnect?
What I plan on doing is making an application that periodically
monitors
for any file changes on an ftp server. (VFS is supposed to do this
but
currently doesn't. I've had a bug logged for a while now but I got
tired
of waiting)
What I want to do is set up the configuration information (system
type,
IP address / Host name, user ID, password, etc) for the FTPClient
and
use this with my monitor, connecting, checking the file for
lastModified
time and then disconnecting. This will be done every few hours or
so.
I don't particularly want to have to set up the config information
each
time as I'm trying to make the monitor as generic as possible to
monitor
multiple ftp locations, with differing configurations. (Basically I
want
to call the monitor with an FTPClient objects and it will monitor a
file
specified for each object)
I know that the disconnect resets the configuration to default but
I'm
wondering if there's any way to have an FTPClient object that
retains it
all so I just need to connect, check the files and disconnect.
Thanks in advance for any help.
All the best,
Tony
