I'm adding FTP support to a Mac application. It actually needs to support SFTP. I need to support upload and downloading. If a connection is dropped I need to be able to re-establish a connection and finish the operation.
It looks like there are some choices out there and I wanted to see what people where suggesting. Here are the choices I have come across. 1) I have seen some information about ConnectionKit. It looks like this was written back in 2007. The original open source project appears to have vanished. However it looks like it was resurrected as a iOS framework. Sounds like it was well supported back in 2007. I'm wondering if it is still a good solution. I'm thinking changing it to work on the Mac would not be that hard to do. Here is where the project is hosted connectionkit - Project Hosting on Google Code <http://code.google.com/p/connectionkit/> 2) Use the CFNetwork APIs. It appears that Apple has some examples to look at for this. I thought they might be a good starting point. One is dated back to 10.3 days. It looks like a good example but I was unable to make it upload a file to my FTP server. That example can be found at CFFTPSample<http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/CFFTPSample/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10003223-Intro-DontLinkElementID_2> Then Apple has also provided an example for iOS. That one looks good too. I was unable to build it because I have not installed the 4.0 SDK. That example can be found at SimpleFTPSample<http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/SimpleFTPSample/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40009243-Intro-DontLinkElementID_2> 3) Then there is always CURL. I need to provide a solution for this. The FTP is a very small part of the Application. I would like to find something easy to get implemented. I'm interested in what other people are doing.
