Getting the files from a web directory...?

Sigh I've spent the last couple hours googling, forum searching, API sweeping, and experimenting.. I just can't figure this one out.
I've got a game which reads levels from a text file. This is all fully functional. I've decided that I want my game to be able to query some website which I will be using for free hosting (Currently an ftp server) with all the levels in a folder called "newLevels", to get a list (Preferably in array format, but any list will do.) of the names of the files inside the folder. For example: At ftp://address/newLevels, there are currently three files. "Claustro.lvl", "DragonFort.lvl", and "Surlicster.lvl". All files within this folder will have the ".lvl" extension. My extensive google-research has helped me to find a class that will copy a file from a server to hard disk. But I will have no way of knowing which files are on the server, unless I have every client write a new level name to a text field. But in this case.. What's the point in having an auto-updater in the first place? Does anybody know of some sort of way to get a list of what is in a web based folder? Sadly, there's no such thing as a URL.list() method, which really sucks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I'll just stick to FTP, then. I developed an idea that seem to work for two different ftp servers (My personal one, and the one provided by funpic.org) while waiting for a reply.
I found an algorithm written by someone else that reads in an ftp page, and displays every single character. There was a consistency here: read/write priveledges, date modified, etc etc. They were all seperated by spaces. And then eventually the filename. I told it to count the 'words' (sets of characters seperated by spaces) until it reached 9, at this point, it has reached the filename. It reads until the filename being saved (one character at a time) has a '.lvl' at the end, and then it resets those counting variables, and stores the filename in a vector aptly named 'files'.
I used another algorithm written by some other person that downloads files from an ftp, and sent it the filenames one at a time.
It's working for me, but I'm not sure if this would be considered 'disgustingly inefficient' by the superiors of programming.

Functional module to get the File from a given Directory

Hi all,
I am using a FM name 'subst_get_file_list' to get the file from a given directory but it is accepting only 40 Character length file only my requirement is to accept file name other than 40 char,
give me good sugestion

Hi Paul,
Check the Function Module Gayathri has given. ie. 'SO_SPLIT_FILE_AND_PATH'.
In the exporting parameter FULL_NAME , give the path name and in the importing parameter stripped_name , you will get the filename.
Check this code.

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
regards,
Namanc

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
    if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
           //data mode open so receive data
          receiveData();
          outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
          //close client socket
         getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
        //if ok found then do other or show error message
    if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
        if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
            if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
               bout.write(getBytes);
            } else {
               showError(3);
        } else {
               showError(2);
   } else {
        showError(1);
}i think it will help u

FM to get the file from application server to presenatation server automati

Hi!
In my upload program I am egtting the error log file onmy application server directly. Is there a function module or a way that in my abap code I can mention to bring the file or transfer the file to the presentation server . As my program is been run in the back ground so I cannot directly get the file on the presenattion server, so I need to bring it back on teh presentation server back to see teh eror log.
I would like my program to do the transfer in background itself so that I can see the error log on a daily basis from my local file .
Thanks

SO , after reading all , I assume that there is no way in which when I run the background job and get a errro file on application server can be retrievd on my presenattion serevr during the background job run. I was thinking that theer might be a functionn module which will convert the application server file into presenttion server file during the program run in background and store it in the location provided.
I was trying to use FM CALL FUNCTION 'C13Z_APPL_TO_FRONT_END' and CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER' but using teh first one asks for source file and destination file name during teh program run and as it runs in background it cannot be provided again and again and teh second one dosent seem to work.
Thanks

Iphone and computer died, need to get the files from hard drive

Iphone and computer died at the same time, my hard drive on the computer is ok, i did a external connection of my hard drive to my laptop, my iphone was backed up on itunes on the computer which are on the hard drive, how do i extract contacts and other files from the hard drive thanks

If the old drive is not accessible then, no, you will not be able to access all your files on it. In this case you may need to look at the following:
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

How to get the files from Time Capsule

Hi everyone. I have a old model of Time Capsule which is never used before. I just have finished the setup and now the Time Machine is doing backup. May I know that after the backup is done, how can I get the files (e.g. photos, mp3, video...) from the Time Capsule or Time Machine?
Thanks for you help.

You can use Time Machine, the Migration Assistant, or the Setup Assistant to restore data from it.

How to get the cookie from a web service using Axis

I used the AXIS wizard to consume a WSDL and create a bunch of boiler plate code. It works great in that I can talk to the web service and submit requests.
The problem is that I need to retrieve the cookie from the login request and use it when making subsequent requests. I have been unable to find the cookie and would appreciate a point in the right direction.
Currently I'm trying something like this
String cookie = (String)((Stub)service)._getCall().getMessageContext().getProperty(HTTPConstants.HEADER_COOKIE);
Thanks in advance.

Versioning in KM repository to get the file from the located path.

Hi ,
The historical versions of a document are located in different folder in KM than the current (active) versions and hence would have to pick up from that area. The active versions are stored under the documents-ISDN-(regions-/(documenttype) but the historical versions are stored in document-system-version and there are a lot of sub-folders where the historical versions can be placed. How can i pick the version file form that path .

Hi,
Let me make is more simple, say you have a file saved in KM somewhere in versions folder. you do not know the exact location of this file as it has been saved on a random basis because it is a verioned file of active file. There are a lot many folders under the verions folder, one the sub-folder has the versioned file. How can I write a code which will search the entire verioions folder and all its subfolder to extract this file based on its name.
We just know the exact filename and it is stored under some subfolder under the verions. The sub-folders can have a multiple sub-folder. Any code example would be useful for my appliction.
Thanks,
sujatha.

BAUP - Where do you get the file from

We are looking to load in all of the local (country specifc) house bank data into SAP via BAUP.
The question I have is does this come from SAP, or do you download it locally.
I can see SAP note 132012 seems to indicate you need to download it, but I was under the impression it was delivered.
Can anyone confirm what is the correct process?

Hi Dirk,
For Russia you need to check at the Russian central bank site. But there is hardly any information on the SWIFT tables.
I prefer to work with SWIFT and perhaps you can ask your company to buy the swift database

Unable to convert the file name in Target directory

Dear Experts,
Currently iam facing a problem with some files.my interface is a File to file .As per the interface the sender will pick the flatfiles from source directory which the file name was BNP_NE201.txt once my file reached to target directory the name of the file willrenamed as VENDOR_Payment.NE201 automatically for this they have done some OS level script in receiver communication channel of the first interface which we have added "un operating system command after message processing" in processing parameters tab.again one more sender comm channel wil pick the file from first target directory which is having naming convesion of "VENDOR_Payment.NE201 " and post it to target. all the two interfaces are file to file (NFS) . for a parctuclar day files has been posted to 1 st target directory and the receiver communication channel is not yet convert the file names bcz of that the second communication channel can't able to pick the files from target directory. for some times that is working fine and some times it is unable to convert.
from our side i check every thing .could you please suggest me the way to approch
Reagrs,

You need to wait until the file is converted. After when it is converted then the second interface sender communication channel will pick the files.
What do u mean by unable to convert?
Is it unable to do the content conversion? if so then check the data as you said that it sometimes it works fine.
> The best approach is to change the name of the file in the receiver communciation channel instead of using a script.
