Associate a file name extension with a specific file type.
Syntax
object.AddFileType( FileExtension,
FileType )
Parameters
- FileExtension
- A string that specifies the file name extension.
- FileType
- Specifies the type of file associated with the file extension.
This parameter can be one of the following values:
| Value |
Description |
| ftpFileTypeASCII |
The file is a text file using the ASCII character set. For
those servers which mark the end of a line with characters
other than a carriage return and linefeed, it will be converted
to the native client format. This is the file type used for
directory listings. The constant ftpFileTypeText is an
alias for this value. |
| ftpFileTypeEBCDIC |
The file is a text file using the EBCDIC character set.
Local files will be converted to EBCDIC when sent to the
server. Remote files will be converted to the native ASCII
character set when retrieved from the server. Not all servers
support this file type. It is recommended that you only specify
this type if you know that it is required by the server to
transfer data correctly. |
| ftpFileTypeImage |
The file is a binary file and no data conversion of any type
is performed on the file. This is the default file type for most
data files and executable programs. If the type of file cannot be
automatically determined, it will always be considered a binary
file. If this file type is specified when uploading or
downloading text files, the native end-of-line character
sequences will be preserved. The constant ftpFileTypeBinary
is an alias for this value. |
Return Value
A value of zero is returned if the operation was successful,
otherwise a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the cause
of the failure.
Remarks
The AddFileType method is used to associate specific file
types with file name extensions. The control has an internal list of
standard text file extensions which it automatically recognizes. This
method can be used to extend or modify that list for the client
session.
