Where to start developing FTP client for WINCE?

[john2020]

Hi,

I am to develop an FTP client to windowsCE which should be integrated into
an application - do anybody of you know where i should start ? and is there
any resources available out there for developers ?


I know the RFC's - i were wondering about something a little more
precise, snippets and specifically targeted on CE.

CE 5.0 - developing in C/C++
Does anyone know where I can find an FTP client for Windows CE?

Is there an FTP client API available for Windows CE?
While an FTP client is documented in the Windows CE help, no FTP client
actually ships with OEM devices. I have heard two explanations for this.
One, given at CE DevCon 99, was that it was up to the OEM to ship or leave
out FTP support, and most left it out. The other is mentioned in the CE
documentation. While FTP functions are documented, there is a statement in
the remarks section: "Inetftp.dll is available only for Intel x86
processors."

pls help me with some suggestions.

thanks&regards
john

hi tcsa 35

can you provide me some technical details about implementing FTP client for WINCE?will the code run on emulator?i will need the capability to transfer files from/to a remote CE device over TCP/IP network. So I figure FTP is
the way to go. Do you know where I can download/purchase an FTP
server for CE? The sample FTP server in Platform Builder
only has light security and can't transfer binary files. I prefer to put the sample FTP client on the CE devices rather than servers? any suggestions?

Hello tcsa35,

I want to download a file via FTP. I tried two different ways:
1. Using the Internet* functions
At first I opened an internet session with InternetOpen. After that
I opened an URL with InternetOpenUrl to which I passed the fully
qualified URL (e.g. ftp://myserver.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/myfile.dat).
Then I read the data with the function InternetReadFile and wrote it
to a file.
This basically works. But InternetReadFile always returns true, even
if the remote file doesn't exists; in this case the received data is HTML
code that describes the error (Yes, I'm aware of the fact that the
Internet Explorer is being used for this).
The API reference unfortunately states that the Ftp* functions are
only available on the x86 platform (hu, what about the promissed
platform independence of Windows CE?!).
2. I found a FTP class on PocketPC Developer Network
(**broken link removed**) that implements
the FTP by itself. This approach also works and it returns error codes
on failure.


Now my questions are:
* Is there another approach for doing this?
* Which approach would you recommend?


Anyway, if possible, I would like to use functions that are available
on a device by default or part of the Windows CE API.
