Get file size on FTP download

问题

im testing around with the "SimpleFTPSample" project from apple to understand how ftp with iOS works. i have added two lines in the "GetController.m" to get the size of the file to download.

-(void)_startReceive
{
.
.
.
  // Open a CFFTPStream for the URL.
  ftpStream = CFReadStreamCreateWithFTPURL(NULL, (CFURLRef) url);
  CFReadStreamSetProperty(ftpStream, kCFStreamPropertyFTPFetchResourceInfo, kCFBooleanTrue); // Added: To get file size
.
.
.
}

- (void)stream:(NSStream *)aStream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)eventCode
{
.
.
.
  switch (eventCode) {
    case NSStreamEventOpenCompleted: {
      // Added: Finally get filesize
      fileSize = [[self.networkStream propertyForKey:(id)kCFStreamPropertyFTPResourceSize] integerValue]; 
      [self _updateStatus:@"Opened connection"];
    } break;
.
.
.
}

now i get the correct file size (fileSize) but after that the download won't start. the "NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable" case won't be handled. how can i get this to work? where's the failure? i want to show a progress bar for the download state- so i need the complete filesize before.

i hope you can help me out with this. thanks!

回答1:

I am pretty sure that when you set kCFStreamPropertyFTPFetchResourceInfo, that means your are only interested in the resources size in that particular request.

you should probably make a new controller that is a subclass of GetController, call it StatController... override _startReceive and the stream handler to your new methods.

use the StatController to get the resource size before you start the async download.

To get the file size you just need:

case NSStreamEventOpenCompleted: {
      fileSize = [[self.networkStream propertyForKey:(id)kCFStreamPropertyFTPResourceSize] integerValue];}

By the way do you know how to get the modification date of the file in the ftp server??
