Constructor Detail

### FTP.FTPDirectoryScanner.AntFTPFile

    public FTP.FTPDirectoryScanner.AntFTPFile(org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient client,
                                              org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPFile ftpFile,
                                              java.lang.String curpwd)

  constructor

  Parameters:
    `client` - ftp client variable
    `ftpFile` - the file
    `curpwd` - absolute remote path where the file is found

### FTP.FTPDirectoryScanner.AntFTPFile

    public FTP.FTPDirectoryScanner.AntFTPFile(FTP.FTPDirectoryScanner.AntFTPFile parent,
                                              java.lang.String path)

  other constructor

  Parameters:
    `parent` - the parent file
    `path` - a relative path to the parent file

Method Detail

### exists

    public boolean exists()

  find out if the file exists

  Returns:
    true if the file exists

### getLink

    public java.lang.String getLink()

  if the file is a symbolic link, find out to what it is pointing

  Returns:
    the target of the symbolic link

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  get the name of the file

  Returns:
    the name of the file

### getAbsolutePath

    public java.lang.String getAbsolutePath()

  find out the absolute path of the file

  Returns:
    absolute path as string

### getFastRelativePath

    public java.lang.String getFastRelativePath()

  find out the relative path assuming that the path used to construct this AntFTPFile was spelled properly with regards to case. This is OK on a case sensitive system such as UNIX

  Returns:
    relative path

### getRelativePath

    public java.lang.String getRelativePath()
                                     throws java.io.IOException,
                                            BuildException

  find out the relative path to the rootPath of the enclosing scanner. this relative path is spelled exactly like on disk, for instance if the AntFTPFile has been instantiated as ALPHA, but the file is really called alpha, this method will return alpha. If a symbolic link is encountered, it is followed, but the name of the link rather than the name of the target is returned. (ie does not behave like File.getCanonicalPath())

  Returns:
    relative path, separated by remoteFileSep
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if a change directory fails, ...
    `BuildException` - if one of the components of the relative path cannot be found.

### getFile

    public org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPFile getFile(org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPFile[] theFiles,
                                                      java.lang.String lastpathelement)

  find a file matching a string in an array of FTPFile. This method will find "alpha" when requested for "ALPHA" if and only if the caseSensitive attribute is set to false. When caseSensitive is set to true, only the exact match is returned.

  Parameters:
    `theFiles` - array of files
    `lastpathelement` - the file name being sought
  Returns:
    null if the file cannot be found, otherwise return the matching file.

### isDirectory

    public boolean isDirectory()

  tell if a file is a directory. note that it will return false for symbolic links pointing to directories.

  Returns:
    `true` for directories

### isSymbolicLink

    public boolean isSymbolicLink()

  tell if a file is a symbolic link

  Returns:
    `true` for symbolic links

### getClient

    protected org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient getClient()

  return the attached FTP client object. Warning : this instance is really shared with the enclosing class.

  Returns:
    FTP client

### setCurpwd

    protected void setCurpwd(java.lang.String curpwd)

  sets the current path of an AntFTPFile

  Parameters:
    `curpwd` - the current path one wants to set

### getCurpwd

    public java.lang.String getCurpwd()

  returns the path of the directory containing the AntFTPFile. of the full path of the file itself in case of AntFTPRootFile

  Returns:
    parent directory of the AntFTPFile

### isTraverseSymlinks

    public boolean isTraverseSymlinks()
                               throws java.io.IOException,
                                      BuildException

  find out if a symbolic link is encountered in the relative path of this file from rootPath.

  Returns:
    `true` if a symbolic link is encountered in the relative path.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if one of the change directory or directory listing operations fails
    `BuildException` - if a path component in the relative path cannot be found.

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Get a string rep of this object.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    a string containing the pwd and the file.
