How do I COPY a file

hi again the same question maybe more structured, so i got no answer about this problem, and still looking for a solution.

Im trying to COPY a file fro mmy ftp to a folder for ex: "C:\temp"

so i put a buton "download" and i added ajax+nodewebkit in my app.

the actions i use are:

Onclicked -> AJAX -> Request "url+filename" the file is an empty file named "test" without extension.

AJAX -> Ajaxlastdata completed -> Nodewebkit -> Write AJAXlastdata to file "C:\temp"

i also tried Write AJAXlastdata to file "C:\temp\test"

and i tried a lot of stuffs but nothing works...

ajax or nodewebkit cant copy file from ftp to hdd??? why...

By default Windows prevents non-admin apps accessing system folders which may well include C:\temp. Write to the appdata folder instead.

well i tried creating a folder C:\test but that also change nothing, it looks impossible to copy a file from an ftp to the hdd :s and also i trid to put the file inside the app and extract that fiel to the hdd, but its impossible :s

All folders in the C: drive require admin permission to access under default Windows settings. Your app is only guaranteed to have access to the appdata folder.

Worked for me, can you send the file you want to download out as text?

Node

var fs = require('fs'), 
       http = require('http'), 
       path = require('path'), 
       ct = {'Content-Type:':'text/plain'},

//The file to send
      file = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve('.\\DOCS\\','doc.txt'));
	
http.createServer(function (req, res) {switch(req.url.toLowerCase()){
  	case '/route': res.writeHead(200,ct); res.end(file.toString()); break;
  	default : res.writeHead(404,ct); res.end("404"); break;
}}).listen(1337);

Construct

On start of layout : Ajax Request "http:// ... url/route" - "tag 'M'"
On "M" complete Node-Webkit Write Ajax.lastdata to file "C:\test\filename.txt"

well my file is just here: http://www.mattepainting.be/test.doc

where i have to pur your code???? the rest of my app is good

can you explain your code?? thanks

Sorry I couldn't answer sooner. The first part is just a server script for node js to test with you can ignore it ;

In short what it's doing - > is reading a file and then starting a new server instance. Any incoming requests with url '/route' are served the file with content type plain text else a 404 notice.

Do the same thing in php or w.e else and it should work? Good luck, hope you figure it out.

well i still cant write a file from my ftp to my hard disk :s

I unno, I had the test folder and text file created ahead of time. Dump your response text to a text object so you know you got it. After saving to disk with AJAX.lastdata the file contents aren't changed?

well in my app i just have one button, download and when i do

Onclicked -> AJAX -> Request "url+filename".

AJAX -> Ajaxlastdata completed -> Nodewebkit -> Write AJAXlastdata to file "C:\temp\test.doc"

bu that does nothing at all :s

i found this in node js.

can someone help me with that ?

Ftp.get(remotePath, localPath, callback)

Stores the remote file directly in the given local path.

ftp.get('remote/file.txt', 'local/file.txt', function(hadErr) {

if (hadErr)

console.error('There was an error retrieving the file.');

else

console.log('File copied successfully!');

});
