Directory Listings

Question

Hi

I am wanting to list the files and folders in my directory in a specific order. i.e. I need all the folders to be listed first in alphabetical order followed by the files in alphabetical order.

Currently I have the code below, but that just displays everything together in alphabetical order

String[] files = ftp.dir(".");        
for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
{
   remoteFiles.add(files[i]);
}

Answer 1

Try using one of the dirdetails() methods. They return FTPFile objects which you can use to find out if directory entries are files or directories.

Thanks for the post, problem solved. I should have really read the documentation a bit closer.
