Xceed.Ftp Assembly > Xceed.Ftp Namespace > FtpClient Class : FileTransferStatus Event
Raised for every 4Kb sent or received during a file transfer.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Event FileTransferStatus As FileTransferStatusEventHandler
'Usage
 
Dim instance As FtpClient

Dim handler As FileTransferStatusEventHandler

 

AddHandler instance.FileTransferStatus, handler
public event FileTransferStatusEventHandler FileTransferStatus
Event Data

The event handler receives an argument of type FileTransferStatusEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following FileTransferStatusEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.

PropertyDescription
AllBytesPercentGets the percentage of the bytes that have been transferred for the entire group of files to transfer.  
AllBytesPerSecondGets the average throughput for the entire group of files being transferred, in bytes per second.  
AllBytesSkippedGets the total amount of bytes that were skipped so far for the group of files being transferred.  
AllBytesTotalGets the total amount of bytes of all files that will be transferred.  
AllBytesTransferredGets the total amount of bytes transferred so far for the group of files being transferred.  
BytesPercentGets the percentage of bytes transferred for the current file.  
BytesPerSecondGets the current file's average throughput in bytes per second.  
BytesSkippedGets the amount of bytes that were skipped for the current file.  
BytesTotalGets the total amount of bytes for the current file.  
BytesTransferredGets the amount of bytes transferred for the current file.  
FilesPercentGets the percentage of files that have been transferred so far.  
FilesSkippedGets the total number of files skipped so far.  
FilesTotalGets the total number of files to transfer.  
FilesTransferredGets the total number of files transferred so far.  
LocalFilenameGets the path and filename of the local file.  
RemoteFilenameGets the filename of the remote file.  
Remarks

When receiving files with the ReceiveFile method, some FTP servers will not provide the size of the file currently being received and therefore, some values of the FileTransferStatusEventArgs will be 0. If you require these particular statistics, you can use the ReceiveMultipleFiles method instead of the ReceiveFile method. The ReceiveMultipleFiles method requests a complete listing from the FTP server before receiving any files. The FTP client therefore obtains the file sizes of each file being received and can then provide these statistics during the FileTransferStatus event. If you use this technique, keep in mind that the receive operation will be slightly slower (due to the extra listing operation) and that it will not be possible to change the local filename of the file.

Example
The following example demonstrates how to use the FileTransferStatus event to display progress information during a multiple-file transfer. This example assumes that you are in a Windows application and that the form contains 2 labels and 2 progress bars. 
Xceed.Ftp.Licenser.LicenseKey = "FTNXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX" ' Set license key here to deploy 



Dim ftp As New FtpClient()



' Subscribe to the FileTransferStatus event.

AddHandler ftp.FileTransferStatus, AddressOf Me.file_transfer



ftp.Connect( "localhost" )

ftp.Login()



ftp.ReceiveMultipleFiles( "ClientFiles\*", "d:\", True, True )



ftp.Disconnect()



Private Sub file_transfer( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FileTransferStatusEventArgs )



  If e.BytesTransferred = 0 Then

    label2.Text = "Receiving file " + e.LocalFilename

    label1.Text = "Receiving file #" + e.FilesTransferred.ToString() + " of " + e.FilesTotal.ToString()

  

    label1.Refresh()

    label2.Refresh()

  End If

  

  progressBar2.Value = e.BytesPercent

  progressBar1.Value = e.AllBytesPercent

End Sub
Xceed.Ftp.Licenser.LicenseKey = "FTNXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX" // Set license key here to deploy 



FtpClient ftp = new FtpClient();



// Subscribe to the FileTransferStatus event.

ftp.FileTransferStatus += new FileTransferStatusEventHandler( this.file_transfer );



ftp.Connect( "localhost" );

ftp.Login();



ftp.ReceiveMultipleFiles( @"ClientFiles\*", @"d:\", true, true );



ftp.Disconnect();



private void file_transfer( object sender, FileTransferStatusEventArgs e )

{

  if( e.BytesTransferred == 0 )

  {

    label2.Text = "Receiving file " + e.LocalFilename;

    label1.Text = "Receiving file #" + e.FilesTransferred.ToString() + " of " + e.FilesTotal.ToString();

  

    label1.Refresh();

    label2.Refresh();

  }

  

  progressBar2.Value = e.BytesPercent;      

  progressBar1.Value = e.AllBytesPercent;      

}
