FTPAttribute (Function) In french: FTPAttribut Identifies the attributes of a file located on an FTP server (File Transfer Protocol).  New in SaaSA new syntax for manipulating variables of type ftpConnection is available from WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025 - Update 2.
ResAttributes = FTPAttribute(ConnectionNum, "/Documents/File.doc")
New in SaaS
MyFTPConnection is ftpConnection
MyFTPConnection.Server = "192.54.12.8"
FTPConnect(MyFTPConnection)
ResAttributes = FTPAttribute(MyFTPConnection, "/Documents/File.doc")
Syntax
Identifying the attributes of a file (connection established via the FTP server connection ID) Hide the details
<Result> = FTPAttribute([<Connection ID> , <File name>]])
<Result>: Character string - "ERR" if an error occurred. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.
- One or more letters corresponding to the file attributes ("AH" for example). The following letters are used:
- R: Read-only file. The file is read-only.
- H: Hidden file. The file name is grayed out or invisible in the explorer.
  This option is not available. - S: System file. The file is a Windows system file.
This option is not available. - A: "Archive" file. This attribute indicates that the file can be archived. Some programs use this attribute to determine which files have been saved.
This option is not available. - D: Directory or subdirectory. The file is a directory or a subdirectory.
- C: Compressed file (on the NTFS partitions). The file was automatically compressed when copied to an NTFS partition (Windows NT or 2000).
This option is not available.
<Connection ID>: Integer Connection identifier, returned by FTPConnect. <File name>: Character string Name and full (or relative) path of the file be accessed. The different path sections are separated by "slashes" ("/"). Note: If the <Connection ID> and <File name> parameters are not specified, the attributes returned will be those of the last file accessed using one of the following FTP functions: FTPDate, FTPTime, FTPSize, FTPListFile. In this case, no request is sent to the server. This syntax is recommended. Remarks Identifying the file attributes To get the different file attributes, check whether one of the letters identifying an attribute is in <Result>. This search can be performed using Position, for example. Timeout By default, all the FTP functions fail if the FTP server does not respond within 20 seconds. This time can be modified: - when connecting to the FTP server with FTPConnect (<Timeout> parameter).
New in SaaSwhen defining the parameters of the ftpConnection variable ( Timeout property). Note: This feature is only available from WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025 - Update 2.
Rights of users Only a user who has read rights on the FTP server can get information about the files or the directories located on an FTP server. In most cases, the read rights are granted to the "anonymous" users. Relative and absolute path The notions of relative path and absolute path are very important in an FTP application. - A path beginning with a slash is considered an absolute path. This path is relative to the root of the FTP server (server-specific parameter).
ex: /pub/user/JULIA - If the path does not begin with a slash, it is considered a relative path, i.e. the path relative to the current directory. This current directory can be obtained or changed using FTPCurrentDir.
When connecting to an FTP site, the initial directory (the "base directory" of the user) is not necessarily found at the root of the FTP server. Therefore, we recommend that you use relative paths. Business / UI classification: Business Logic
