Namespace:  Rebex.Net
Assembly:  Rebex.Ftp (in Rebex.Ftp.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function BeginGetList ( _
	arguments As String, _
	callback As AsyncCallback, _
	state As Object _
) As IAsyncResult
C#
public IAsyncResult BeginGetList(
	string arguments,
	AsyncCallback callback,
	Object state
)

Parameters

arguments
Type: System..::..String
Arguments for the LIST or MLSD command.
callback
Type: System..::..AsyncCallback
An optional asynchronous callback to be called when the operation is complete.
state
Type: System..::..Object
A user-provided object that identifies this particular asynchronous operation.

Remarks

This method will use the MLSD command if the server supports it and it is enabled (see SupportedExtensions and EnabledExtensions properties). It will use the LIST command if MLSD is not supported or disabled.

See ItemParse for information on using custom list parsers.

Caution: The meaning of the arguments argument is not defined by RFC and varies from server to server. Some servers interpret it as parameters to dir command, some as a filename, some ignore it and some report an error. Calling this method with arguments other than null is not recommended and will make your code incompatible with many FTP servers.

In builds for .NET 4.0 and higher, this method is available as an extension method. Add 'using Rebex.Legacy' (C#) or 'Import Rebex.Legacy' (VB.NET) to your code in order to use it.
