How to use filetransfer protocol?

[Hanashi]

Hello,

is it possible to use the filetransfer protocol with the api?
I checked currently my files with the server query:

[email protected](1):online> ftgetfilelist cid=1 cpw= path=/
cid=1 path=\/ name=myfile.tar.gz size=5245060 datetime=1548670554 type=1
error id=0 msg=ok
[email protected](1):online> ftinitdownload clientftfid=1 name=\/myfile.tar.gz cid=1 cpw= seekpos=0
clientftfid=1 serverftfid=2 ftkey=u8DauuKGoue8PqSpEfOXP5YtO36j02Hr port=30033 size=5245060 proto=0
error id=0 msg=ok

How can I download now this file? Is there any api documentation for the fileserver (port 30033)?

kind regards
Peter

You simply open a connection to the filetransfer port indicated and send the transfer key. Upon receiving the key the server will then send you the designated file on that connection. That is once you opened the connection and sent the key, you will receive the data of the file that you can then save to disk or do whatever with.

Uploading works the same, but instead of the server sending you stuff, it expects you to send the file after sending the transfer key.

Thanks for your answer. I tested this for uploading a file:

Serverquery:

send: ftinitupload clientftfid=1 name=\/test.png cid=1 cpw= size=29333 overwrite=1 resume=0
answer: clientftfid=1 serverftfid=3 ftkey=9VLNIsCS+BzH6wbu1ZvBlHVQbJq5lGw0 port=30033 seekpos=0 proto=0

PHP-Code: https://pastebin.com/BnbwSete
(sorry can not post the PHP code her, because cloudflare is blocking this)

The problem is, that the file on the server ist empty after upload.

On downloading a file, I have the same problem:

send: ftinitdownload clientftfid=1 name=\/myfile.tar.gz cid=1 cpw= seekpos=0
answer: clientftfid=1 serverftfid=3 ftkey=\/e8SE81Dtn4l\/NwlIMLvXHFutoXjilTk port=30033 size=5245060 proto=0

The result of fread is false

The keys are not valid for very long (a few seconds), so most likely the key expired before you are able to hard code it in and run the script.

Please note that you're dealing with binary data here while using PHP string functions. Not sure how PHP deals with that or whether these functions are suitable for binary data.

Thank you, my problem was of course the expired key. Now it works
