[RESOLVED] FTP Inet1 List Directories In ListView Control

[evry1falls]

Hello,
I have VB6.0 Project with Inet1, i don't want to use API functions in this project, and i want to list directories from FTP server (i.e: ftp://ftp.mcafee.com) in a listView Control ....
Note :
i successfully connect to the server using

Inet1.Execute ,"DIR"

Then i retrieve the Directories NAMES in textbox

DO
data1 = inet1.getchunk(1024,icString)
data = data + data1
loop while len(Data1) <> 0
text1.text = data

.....
Now i want to replace the Text1 with ListView , but when i attempt to do so, i get the result in just one line in the listview (folder1/folder2/folder3......etc) ... what is the right way to accomplish this task ?!

You need to split results using carriage return, for this you need an array, then loop this array adding Listitems (rows) to the Listview, example:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Data1 As String, sData As String
Dim lArrData() As String, i As Long
       
    Inet1.Execute , "DIR"
    
    Do While Inet1.StillExecuting
        DoEvents
    Loop
        
    Data1 = Inet1.GetChunk(1024, icString)
    
    Do While Len(Data1) <> 0
        sData = sData & Data1
        Data1 = Inet1.GetChunk(1024, icString)
    Loop
    
    lArrData = Split(sData, vbNewLine)
    
    For i = 0 To UBound(lArrData)
        LV.ListItems.Add , , lArrData(i)
    Next
    
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    LV.View = lvwReport
    LV.ColumnHeaders.Add 1, "folder", "Folder", 2000 'If you already added a column then delete this line
    Inet1.URL = "ftp://ftp.mcafee.com"
End Sub

I used Report view but you could use icons instead if you want, you can also add an ImageList control and use folder icons for each item, with this it would look much better.

i posted an example to fill a treeview with a folder tree, using a shell object and FTP APIs in codebank

neither method uses the Inet control, but may be worth consideration
