ftp from flash

[jordienla]

Hi,
It is possible to create an Ftp interface thru flash, so clients can log and retrieve files ?

Thanks

Absolutely, but you need to use a server side language like Coldfusion, ASP or PHP to do the actually FTP work. Flash can present the directories, files etc. and display the functionality of moving, renaming, deleting etc. but the server side language will do all the actual FTP work.

"Flash can present the directories, files"

Can flash look into a predefined folder for .jpg files? Will I have to use jsfl?

Flash cannot look into a folder for specific files and from what I understand JSFL is only for use in the Flash IDE (ie fla files) not in compiled swf files. You would have to use ASP, PHP, Coldfusion on the server side to do the directory listing and filtering and then return the list to the Flash movie via XML, Load Vars or Remoting.
