ftp->get_file("localfile", "remotefile"); ftp->get_file("localfile", 0644, "remotefile"); std::vector<char> buffer; ftp->get(std::back_insert_iterator<std::vector<char>>(buffer), "remotefile");
get_file() downloads a file from the server,
creating a local file. Optional file creation permission mode parameter
follows the local filename parameter.
get_file() creates a file with a temporary
name, and renames it to “localfile” when the download
finishes. An error throws an exception and removes the temporary file.
get() downloads a file and writes it to
an output iterator, instead of a file.
The remaining, optional parameters to get_file()
and get():
Binary transfer flag. The default value of
true effects binary mode file transfer;
false effects text mode file transfer.
The text mode transfer makes no changes to the transferred contents.
This specifies the mode setting for the transfer, and the
transferred data gets saved in the file, as received from the
server.
x::fdtimeoutconfig
that sets up the timeout configuration for the data channel used
to transfer the requested file.
