DownloadDirectory may not work on custom systems due to internal FileListing

[Adhara3]

FTP OS: Embedded

FTP Server: Custom

Computer OS: Windows

FluentFTP Version: 35.0.5

DownloadDirectory is internally performing a this.GetListing(remoteFolder, FtpListOption.Size | FtpListOption.Recursive) so using specific parameters that may not work as expected on all system. Example: FtpListOption.NoPath may be needed in order to work.

This should be probably part of the FtpServerBase class. Please note that the enum provides some behavioral flags (Recursive) while others are more archictural (NoPath, ForceList) and the BaseServer class should fill the latter kind

Good idea, any suggestions how to implement this? A new property/method in FtpServerBase?

[Adhara3]

Hi,

yes I would probably adda new method with a signature like the following FtpListOption DecorateFileListOptions(FtpListOption options)

I can do the pull request if you want

Cheers A
