Detailed Description
Initiate an FTP operation.
This module contains the API functions for a user to request a get, put, third-party
transfer, or other FTP file operation.
Typedef Documentation
typedef void(* globus_ftp_client_complete_callback_t)(void *user_arg,
globus_ftp_client_handle_t *handle, globus_object_t *error)
Operation complete callback. Every FTP Client operation (get, put, transfer, mkdir, etc)
is asynchronous. A callback of this type is passed to each of the operation function calls
to let the user know when the operation is complete. The completion callback is called
only once per operation, after all other callbacks for the operation have returned.
Parameters:
user_arg The user_arg parameter passed to the operation.
handle The handle on which the operation was done.
error A Globus error object indicating any problem which occurred, or GLOBUS_SUCCESS,
if the operation completed successfully.
typedef struct globus_i_ftp_client_features_s* globus_ftp_client_features_t
Feature Handle
Handle used to associate state with feature operations.

Enumeration Type Documentation
enum globus_ftp_client_tristate_t
Types for feature existence
FALSE and TRUE are known to be fact that a feature does or does not exist MAYBE means that
the feature may exist.
enum globus_ftp_client_probed_feature_t
Types of features.
Function Documentation
globus_result_t globus_ftp_client_exists (globus_ftp_client_handle_t *u_handle, const char
*url, globus_ftp_client_operationattr_t *attr,
globus_ftp_client_complete_callback_tcomplete_callback, void *callback_arg)
Check for the existence of a file or directory on an FTP server. This function attempts to
determine whether the specified URL points to a valid file or directory. The
complete_callback will be invoked with the result of the existence check passed as a
globus error object, or GLOBUS_SUCCESS.
Parameters:
u_handle An FTP Client handle to use for the existence check operation.
url The URL of the directory or file to check. The URL may be an ftp or gsiftp URL.
attr Attributes to use for this operation.
complete_callback Callback to be invoked once the existence operation is completed.
callback_arg Argument to be passed to the complete_callback.
Returns:
This function returns an error when any of these conditions are true:
• u_handle is GLOBUS_NULL
• url is GLOBUS_NULL
• url cannot be parsed
• url is not a ftp or gsiftp url
• complete_callback is GLOBUS_NULL
• handle already has an operation in progress
References globus_ftp_client_size().
globus_result_t globus_ftp_client_features_init (globus_ftp_client_features_t *u_features)
Initialize the feature set, to be later used by globus_ftp_client_feat(). Each feature
gets initial value GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_MAYBE.
Note:
Structure initialized by this function must be destroyed using
globus_ftp_client_features_destroy()
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS on success, otherwise error.
globus_result_t globus_ftp_client_features_destroy (globus_ftp_client_features_t *u_features)
Destroy the feature set.
Note:
Structure passed to this function must have been previously initialized by
globus_ftp_client_features_init().
Returns:
GLOBUS_SUCCESS on success, otherwise error.
globus_result_t globus_ftp_client_feat (globus_ftp_client_handle_t *u_handle, char *url,
globus_ftp_client_operationattr_t *attr, globus_ftp_client_features_t *u_features,
globus_ftp_client_complete_callback_tcomplete_callback, void *callback_arg)
Check the features supported by the server (FTP FEAT command). After this procedure
completes, the features set (parameter u_features) represents the features supported by
the server. Prior to calling this procedure, the structure should have been initialized by
globus_ftp_client_features_init(); afterwards, it should be destroyed by
globus_ftp_client_features_destroy(). After globus_ftp_client_feat() returns, each feature
in the list has one of the values: GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_TRUE, GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_FALSE, or
GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_MAYBE. The first two denote the server supporting, or not supporting,
the given feature. The last one means that the test has not been performed. This is not
necessarily caused by error; there might have been no reason to check for this particular
feature.
Parameters:
u_handle An FTP Client handle to use for the list operation.
url The URL to list. The URL may be an ftp or gsiftp URL.
attr Attributes for this file transfer.
u_features A pointer to a globus_ftp_client_features_t to be filled with the feature
set supported by the server.
complete_callback Callback to be invoked once the size check is completed.
callback_arg Argument to be passed to the complete_callback.
Returns:
This function returns an error when any of these conditions are true:
• u_handle is GLOBUS_NULL
• source_url is GLOBUS_NULL
• source_url cannot be parsed
• source_url is not a ftp or gsiftp url
• u_features is GLOBUS_NULL or badly initialized
• complete_callback is GLOBUS_NULL
• handle already has an operation in progress
globus_result_t globus_ftp_client_is_feature_supported (const globus_ftp_client_features_t
*u_features, globus_ftp_client_tristate_t *answer,
globus_ftp_client_probed_feature_tfeature)
Check if the feature is supported by the server. After the function completes, parameter
answer contains the state of the server support of the given function. It can have one of
the values: GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_TRUE, GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_FALSE, or GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_MAYBE.
Parameters:
u_features list of features, as returned by globus_ftp_client_feat()

url The URL to download. The URL may be an ftp or gsiftp URL.
attr Attributes for this file transfer.
restart Pointer to a restart marker.
eret_alg_str The ERET algorithm string. This string contains information needed to
invoke a server-specific data reduction algorithm on the file being retrieved.

calling globus_ftp_client_register_write() to send the data associated with this URL.
When all of the data associated with this URL is sent, and all of the data callbacks have
been called, or if the put request is aborted, the complete_callback will be invoked with
the final status of the put.
