Re: [Babeldoc-devel] Question regarding FTP scanner

[Dejan K. <dej...@ya...>]

Hi David,
FtpScanner is using Jakarta Commons Net 1.0 package
(ex ORO Net Components 3.8.1) for ftp scannong. This
component was mad to work with Unix based servers and
you were supposed to implement support for other
servers. Since I needed to use it for MS FTP server I
have implement support for it.
AFAIK, Commons Net is improving and they have changed
the way how server listing is parsed, and also they
should support other systems (MS for example).
However, the code for that was not released yet but I
think it will be released very soon (actualy the
voting for Commons Net 1.1 relesase has already been
started on Jakarta's mailing list).

So you have three options:
- Try to implement AS/400 support by yourself. You
need to parse your server's output to extract
filenames, etc  look at the code for
MsFtpFileListParser.
- wait for Commons Net 1.1
- use Commons Net CVS snapshot

Note that  AS/400 might left unsupported by Commons
Net 1.1. Try to look at their CVS, there are parsers
for most systems...
