To close the dialog and kill the process use something like this:


I will look at what it will take to mod the library to change the dialog box size. At the current time it is fixed.

New Automated FTP Library

UPDATED 1-24-2014 - Version 1.05 adds a new function for checking for files or folders. It also contains a few other small fixes.
The new command works for Files or Folders. If the last parameter is set to TRUE, it will look for folders, if the last parameter is set to FALSE it will look for files. Because the code runs in the background and is modeless you must have a callback sub in the calling module. Code samples below:

B4X:

'Call the command like this:
FTP.FileOrFolderExist("plane.jpg" , "test/files", False)

B4X:

'Callback sub in calling module:
Sub FTP_FileExist(Found As Boolean)
    If Found Then Log("True") Else Log("False")
End Sub

UPDATED 4-2-2013 - Version 1.02 Corrects an issue where PassiveMode was not working and also corrects an issue where UploadFileSet would not work from File.DirInternal.

Automates the process of sending and receiving files using FTP with Wildcards & File Masks. Version 1.02 is attached. Please post/report back any issues you find, etc.

This library has progress bars for Each File and overall progress. It handles wildcards and multi file types at the same time. Issue one command and transfer multiple files and multiple types! Change the colors, text size and words of all objects on the Progress Dialog to fit the look of your app. Also works in Stealth Mode!

REQUIRES: B4A 2.5 +
Copy the FTP_Auto.jar & FTP_Auto.xml files to the Extra Libraries folder.

FTP_Auto

• Close
  Completes the current Que with any files left to process and then
  closes the connection.
• CloseNow
  Closes the connection and all other files in the Que are
  ignored and the process is terminated.

  Deletes a single file from the server.
  Example:

  If you used a Mask to download a set of files, this function
  will delelete all files in that last set.

  Retrieves a list of files from the server matching the Mask(s) passed to Files_Path_And_Mask() array.
  You should include the full server path in the Mask. It will then download these files to
  the Folder passed in LocalPath. Files_Path_And_Mask() can contain one entry or however many is needed.

  If ShowCompletedDialog=True, it will show a dialog after the upload process is completed.
• SetProcessCompleteOn (ProcessCompleteOn As Boolean)

  'Add this sub to calling Activity
  Sub FTP_ProcessComplete
  'Your code here...
  End Sub
