Ftp.BeginGetRawList Method (String, FtpListingType, AsyncCallback, Object)

Retrieves the raw list of files and directories as received from the server.

public IAsyncResult BeginGetRawList(
   string arguments,
   FtpListingType listingType,
   AsyncCallback callback,
   object state
);

Parameters

arguments: Arguments for the list command.
listingType: The listing command to use.
callback: An optional asynchronous callback to be called when the operation is complete.
state: A user-provided object that identifies this particular asynchronous operation.

Return Value

An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous operation.The array of response lines.

Remarks

This method supports retrieving the raw listings using either the LIST command or MLSD command. Using GetList is a better choice in most cases, because it returns the parsed list, unlike GetRawList.

Please note that requesting a FtpListingType.MachineProcessingList list will only work on servers that support this extension - this can be determined using the SupportedExtensions property.

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.
