iOS FTP Connection Framework

[Garrett]

Most frameworks I have tried to use have failed on me, would it be best to use CFNetwork? Or do you guys know of a framework that simply, downloads directory listings, uploads text, and downloads text/images?

Thanks,
Garrett

Have you looked at Connection Kit?

Yes, but I downloaded the SVN and it won't run 🙁 is there a way to compile a framework?

Frameworks aren't allowed on the iPhone. You'd have to add all the files into your project.

How would I go about doing that? He has all these build phases in his sample application. 🙁

 

[Garrett]

I think CFNetworking is cumbersome for this (personally), is there a more Cocoa like way of doing it? I can't find any starting tutorials on connecting to a FTP server. 🙁

Thanks,
Garrett

So there is no way at all to implement FTP into the iPhone? 🙁

CFNetwork would be the best bet from what I have read. I think there might be some FTP specific functions in it as well to make it a bit easier.

But if all else fails you can always do it yourself 🙂.

CFNetwork would be the best bet. FTP is a pretty simple protocol to implement.

Do you have any tutorials or what not I could follow? The one on the dev center is very limited in any information...as you can see here:

Where do they get the whole "info->" things? I don't see them defining info anywhere 🙁

info is just the struct shown on the first page you linked.

Is there no way to do it with a NS class? 🙂

Not that I can see from looking through the documentation. Really though that looks like a perfectly adequate C API to me. Just be thankful you're not doing it with raw BSD sockets by hand (and no library code).

Is anyone interested in working together on something light for document backup and restore on the iPhone? From my reading on CFNetwork, it looks like reading and writing to a server specified in Settings would not be too difficult. Most of my experience involves Cocoa, but I have worked quite a bit with Core Graphics, so CFNetwork should be the natural next step 😉.

I can see something like this being the Sparkle for the iPhone. The greatest thing about CFNetwork is that it is available on the phone already, yet is shared with the Mac so the NDA should not be a problem.
