Well ... I am fooling around with the FTP object myself.
I assume you know how to connect to a FTP server, so I will jump ahead to get a list.
It is basically easy.
1. You set the directory. I believe the action is "FTP object" -> "Directory" -> "Set directory". Then type the directory you want to search. Normally when you arive you would search the root directory "/". The FTP object may assume (that is set) the directory to "/" automatically. I really havent tried if it works.
2. Start the search. The action is "FTP object" -> "Directory" -> "Load". In the input box simply choose "*" to retrieve everything in the directory.
3. Retrieve the result and process it one at a time. Simply put this in a group. Open the group when you have set the directory and initiated the search open this group and close it when you are done.
I have a problem here since I cannot get the "scanned name is directory" and "scanned name is file" to work, so I have not found a good way to distinguish between files and directories. As a start you could use the "Tree object" and simply add everything as a folder or item. Anyways your group should be something like:
+ Always
- "FTP object" -> "Directory" -> "Scan"
+ Scanned name ("FTP object") <> ""
- "Tree object" -> "add item"/"add folder" etc.
+ NEGATE "FTP object" -> "Directory" -> "More directories to scan"
- Close this group
Also note I was not home at the time of writing, so I may check my post when I get home to make sure I called the things the right things. If youd like I could send you a file cca with what I described.
