Detailed Description

The FTP file system (FTP client) can be used to transfer files from or to remote hosts.

You can mount the FTP file system with a call to mount() or mount_and_make_target_path() with the RTEMS_FILESYSTEM_TYPE_FTPFS file system type.

You have to add CONFIGURE_FILESYSTEM_FTPFS to your application configuration.

You can open files either read-only or write-only. A seek is not allowed. A close terminates the control and data connections.

To open a file file.txt in the directory dir (relative to home directory of the server) on a server named host using the user name user and the password pw you must specify the following path: /FTP/user:pw@host/dir/file.txt.

If the server is the default server specified in BOOTP, it can be ommitted: /FTP/user:pw/dir/file.txt.

The user name will be used for the password if it is ommitted: /FTP/user@host/dir/file.txt.

For the data transfer passive (= default) and active (= fallback) mode are supported.

Function Documentation

rtems_ftpfs_get_timeout()

rtems_status_code rtems_ftpfs_get_timeout	(	const char *	mount_point,
		struct timeval *	timeout
	)

Returns the current timeout value in timeout for the file system at mount_point.

If mount_point is NULL the default mount point RTEMS_FTPFS_MOUNT_POINT_DEFAULT will be used.

rtems_ftpfs_get_verbose()

rtems_status_code rtems_ftpfs_get_verbose	(	const char *	mount_point,
		bool *	verbose
	)

Returns in verbose if the verbose mode is enabled or disabled for the file system at mount_point.

If mount_point is NULL the default mount point RTEMS_FTPFS_MOUNT_POINT_DEFAULT will be used.

rtems_ftpfs_set_timeout()

rtems_status_code rtems_ftpfs_set_timeout	(	const char *	mount_point,
		const struct timeval *	timeout
	)

Sets the timeout value to timeout for the file system at mount_point.

The timeout value will be used during connection establishment of active data connections. It will be also used for send and receive operations on data and control connections.

If mount_point is NULL the default mount point RTEMS_FTPFS_MOUNT_POINT_DEFAULT will be used.

rtems_ftpfs_set_verbose()

rtems_status_code rtems_ftpfs_set_verbose	(	const char *	mount_point,
		bool	verbose
	)

Enables or disables the verbose mode if verbose is true or false respectively for the file system at mount_point.

In the enabled verbose mode the commands and replies of the FTP control connections will be printed to standard error.

If mount_point is NULL the default mount point RTEMS_FTPFS_MOUNT_POINT_DEFAULT will be used.
