class URI::FTP

Description¶ ↑

Creates a new URI::FTP object from components, with syntax checking.

The components accepted are userinfo, host, port, path, and typecode.

The components should be provided either as an Array, or as a Hash with keys formed by preceding the component names with a colon.

If an Array is used, the components must be passed in the order [userinfo, host, port, path, typecode].

If the path supplied is absolute, it will be escaped in order to make it absolute in the URI.

Examples:

require 'uri'

uri1 = URI::FTP.build(['user:password', 'ftp.example.com', nil,
  '/path/file.zip', 'i'])
uri1.to_s  # => "ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com/%2Fpath/file.zip;type=i"

uri2 = URI::FTP.build({:host => 'ftp.example.com',
  :path => 'ruby/src'})
uri2.to_s  # => "ftp://ftp.example.com/ruby/src"

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 97
def self.build(args)

  # Fix the incoming path to be generic URL syntax
  # FTP path  ->  URL path
  # foo/bar       /foo/bar
  # /foo/bar      /%2Ffoo/bar
  #
  if args.kind_of?(Array)
    args[3] = '/' + args[3].sub(/^\//, '%2F')
  else
    args[:path] = '/' + args[:path].sub(/^\//, '%2F')
  end

  tmp = Util::make_components_hash(self, args)

  if tmp[:typecode]
    if tmp[:typecode].size == 1
      tmp[:typecode] = TYPECODE_PREFIX + tmp[:typecode]
    end
    tmp[:path] << tmp[:typecode]
  end

  return super(tmp)
end

Description¶ ↑

Creates a new URI::FTP object from generic URL components with no syntax checking.

Unlike build(), this method does not escape the path component as required by RFC1738; instead it is treated as per RFC2396.

Arguments are scheme, userinfo, host, port, registry, path, opaque, query, and fragment, in that order.

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 134
def initialize(scheme,
               userinfo, host, port, registry,
               path, opaque,
               query,
               fragment,
               parser = nil,
               arg_check = false)
  raise InvalidURIError unless path
  path = path.sub(/^\//,'')
  path.sub!(/^%2F/,'/')
  super(scheme, userinfo, host, port, registry, path, opaque,
        query, fragment, parser, arg_check)
  @typecode = nil
  if tmp = @path.index(TYPECODE_PREFIX)
    typecode = @path[tmp + TYPECODE_PREFIX.size..-1]
    @path = @path[0..tmp - 1]

    if arg_check
      self.typecode = typecode
    else
      self.set_typecode(typecode)
    end
  end
end

Returns the path from an FTP URI.

RFC 1738 specifically states that the path for an FTP URI does not include the / which separates the URI path from the URI host. Example:

ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/ruby

The above URI indicates that the client should connect to ftp.example.com then cd to pub/ruby from the initial login directory.

If you want to cd to an absolute directory, you must include an escaped / (%2F) in the path. Example:

ftp://ftp.example.com/%2Fpub/ruby

This method will then return “/pub/ruby”.

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 241
def path
  return @path.sub(/^\//,'').sub(/^%2F/,'/')
end

Returns a String representation of the URI::FTP.

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 252
def to_s
  save_path = nil
  if @typecode
    save_path = @path
    @path = @path + TYPECODE_PREFIX + @typecode
  end
  str = super
  if @typecode
    @path = save_path
  end

  return str
end

Args¶ ↑

v

String

Description¶ ↑

Public setter for the typecode v (with validation).

See also URI::FTP.check_typecode.

Usage¶ ↑

require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse("ftp://john@ftp.example.com/my_file.img")
#=> #<URI::FTP ftp://john@ftp.example.com/my_file.img>
uri.typecode = "i"
uri
#=> #<URI::FTP ftp://john@ftp.example.com/my_file.img;type=i>

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 209
def typecode=(typecode)
  check_typecode(typecode)
  set_typecode(typecode)
  typecode
end

Private setter for the path of the URI::FTP.

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 246
def set_path(v)
  super("/" + v.sub(/^\//, "%2F"))
end

Private setter for the typecode v.

See also URI::FTP.typecode=.

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 181
def set_typecode(v)
  @typecode = v
end

Validates typecode v, returns true or false.

# File uri/ftp.rb, line 167
def check_typecode(v)
  if TYPECODE.include?(v)
    return true
  else
    raise InvalidComponentError,
      "bad typecode(expected #{TYPECODE.join(', ')}): #{v}"
  end
end
