Hi,

How can I list the subfolders and files in a path of my website.

I tried to use FolderListModel but it didn^t work.

 

Could you help me?

Hi,

what platform is this app running on? FolderListModel is intended for use with the local filesystem where the application is running on.

Are you just providing a url and want to list the folder structure? Then you should check about a webserver feature called “directory listing”, and why this is disabled by default as it is dangerous. Or is this only about displaying a provided list of folders in an appropriate visual way?

If you can provide more info on the use case, you maybe can get better help and an alternative approach.

Best,
Alex

Hi Alex,

 

Thank you for your kind answer.

My application (PhotoLibrary) runs on android. I have an FTP server. I can see the directories by opening the URL on a browser. So I want to be able to see the directories and download the images under the folders of the root url which I gave.

 

Kind Regards.

I would suggest you use an HttpRequest on that URL and then parse the response string to get the directories.

Based on those directories you can then also request the urls of the distinct folders again to get the content of those folders.

Hi,

I still search on google but couldn’t find a way to parse the directories.

I found the below codes:

HttpRequest
               .get(serverUrl)
               .timeout(5000)
               .set('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8')
               .then(function(res) {
                 console.log(res.status);
                 console.log(JSON.stringify(res.header, null, 4));
                 console.log(JSON.stringify(res.body, null, 4));

and found “JSON.parse()” function. But couldn’t find how to parse :/

Please, can you advise me something?

Hi,

I’ve tried to use XmlListModel, codes are below but I couldn’t see the content of the model.

    DownloadableResource {
        id: resource
        extractAsPackage: false
        storageLocation: FileUtils.DocumentsLocation
        storageName: "qaphotolibrary.xml"
        source: serverXmlUrl
        Component.onCompleted: {
            download()
        }
    }

    XmlListModel {
        id: xmlModel
        source: ""
        query: "/rss/category/item"

        XmlRole { name: "categoryName"; query: "categoryName/string()" }
        XmlRole { name: "categoryCount"; query: "categoryCount/string()" }

        Component.onCompleted: {
            xmlModel.source = resource.storagePath
            console.log("XmlListModel: " + xmlModel.source + " - " + resource.storagePath )
        }
    }

NavigationStack {

        Page {
            title: qsTr("Main Page")

            AppListView {
                anchors.fill: parent
                orientation: AppListView.Vertical
                model: xmlModel
                delegate: AppText { text: categoryName + ": " + categoryCount }
            }
        }
    }

Hi,

Are there any suggestions ?

Kind Regards.

Thanks

Can you post the what the output of your

res.body

value is of the HttpRequest that you added above? Do you see the directories there?

By the way the “Content-Type” property of a http request just defines the type of the request (or more precisely the payload body of the request), not its response. I’d assume that the response from the server is not json formatted but rather some xml.
