I’m messing around with Flex FTP<\/a> at the moment and found that there is no way yet to create a directory on the FTP server. I had a quick look through the code on how the other FTP actions were implemented. Being surprised with the nice setup of the code I had quite easily added the “make directory” action and got it working properly. You can download my MakeDirInv class here: http:\/\/ansuz.nl\/toys\/randomcode\/MakeDirInv.as<\/a>
\nAll you need to do after that is patch the FTPClient class by adding the following method.<\/p>\n

  1. \/**<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n
  2. * Creates a directory on the remote host.<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n
  3. *<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n
  4. * @param newDirName The name of the new directory to create.<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n
  5. * @param parentDir (Optional) The directory to create the new directory in.<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n
  6. *\/<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n
  7. public<\/span> function<\/span> makeDir(<\/span>newDirName:String<\/span>, parentDir:String<\/span> = "\/"<\/span>)<\/span>:void<\/span> {<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n
  8. trace<\/span>(<\/span>"FTPClient.makeDir(newDirName, parentDir)"<\/span>)<\/span>;<\/div><\/li>\n
  9. invoke(<\/span>new<\/span> MakeDirInv(<\/span>this<\/span>, newDirName, parentDir)<\/span>)<\/span>;<\/div><\/li>\n
  10. }<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

    Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to create directories on the FTP server you’re connected to, see the example below.<\/p>\n

    \n\n\t\t
    \n\n\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t< View plain text<\/span> ><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
    ActionScript<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t
    \n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
    \n\t\t
    1. ftpClient.addEventListener<\/span>(<\/span>FTPEvent.CREATE_DIR<\/span>, dirCreatedHandler)<\/span>;<\/div><\/li>\n
    2. ftpClient.makeDir<\/span>(<\/span>"myNewDir"<\/span>, "\/someSubDir\/"<\/span>)<\/span>;<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
