minage: the minimum file age in seconds before a file will be acquired (default: 0)

port: the integer port number to connect to (default 21; must be > 0 if given)
user: the username to use for the connection

◆ getFiles()

list<hash<FtpPollerFileEventInfo> > FtpPoller::FtpPoller::getFiles	(	string	subdir,
		int	sort = `FtpPoller::SortNone`,
		int	order = `FtpPoller::OrderAsc`
	)

returns a list of regular file hashes matching any file name mask set for the object

Parameters

subdir	the directory to check
sort	the sort option for the list returned
order	the ordering of sorted data returned

Returns

a list of regular file hashes with the following keys in each list element:

name: the name of the file, link, or directory
size: the size of the file in bytes
mtime: the last modified date/time of the file

◆ getStoreFile()

FtpPoller::FtpPoller::getStoreFile	(	string	remote_path,
		string	local_path
	)

retrieves a remote file and stores it to a local path

Parameters

remote_path	the remote file path
local_path	the local file path

◆ postSingleFileEvent()

abstract FtpPoller::FtpPoller::postSingleFileEvent ( hash< FtpPollerFileEventInfo > fih )

pure virtual

called after singleFileEvent() for each matching file individually whenever matching files are polled with the list of matching file names; if any error occurs here, the polling operation stops

This method would normally delete / rename / move files processed by singleFileEvent() so that they would not be polled a second time. If an error occurs in this operation, then the polling event will stop since continuing after failing to delete, rename, or move a file already processed would cause the file to be processed more than once.

Parameters

fih

a hash of file data and information with the following keys:

name: the name of the file, link, or directory
size: the size of the file in bytes
mtime: the last modified date/time of the file
data: the file's data; this will be a string unless the "binary" option is set to True, in which case this key is assigned to the files binary data
filepath: the remote filepath relative to FTP root directory

◆ singleFileEvent()

abstract FtpPoller::FtpPoller::singleFileEvent ( hash< FtpPollerFileEventInfo > fih )

pure virtual

called for each matching file individually whenever matching files are polled with the list of matching file names; if any error occurs here, the error is logged and the polling operation is retried

Parameters

fih

a hash of file data and information with the following keys:

name: the name of the file, link, or directory
size: the size of the file in bytes
mtime: the last modified date/time of the file
data: the file's data; this will be a string unless the "binary" option is set to True, in which case this key is assigned to the files binary data
filepath: the remote filepath relative to FTP root directory

◆ start()

int FtpPoller::FtpPoller::start ( )

starts polling in the background; returns the thread ID of the polling thread

if polling had already been started, then the thread ID of the polling thread is returned immediately

◆ startInline()

FtpPoller::FtpPoller::startInline ( )

starts the polling operation inline (not in a background thread)

Exceptions

FTPPOLLER-ERROR this exception is thrown if polling is already in progress

◆ stop()

FtpPoller::FtpPoller::stop ( )

stops the polling operation, returns when the polling operation has been stopped

if polling was not in progress then this method returns immediately

Exceptions

THREAD-ERROR this exception is thrown if this method is called from the event thread since it would result in a deadlock

See also: stopNoWait()

◆ stopNoWait()

FtpPoller::FtpPoller::stopNoWait ( )

stops the polling operation, returns immediately

See also: stop()

◆ waitStop()

FtpPoller::FtpPoller::waitStop ( )

waits indefinitely for the polling operation to stop; if polling was not in progress then this method returns immediately

Exceptions

THREAD-ERROR this exception is thrown if this method is called from the event thread since it would result in a deadlock
