ftp-cmd-list-parse

This is a Rust library that can parse strings that FTP servers return by LIST command request.

• Unix-style:

drwxr-xr-x  10 root   root    4096 Dec 21  2012 usr
brw-rw----  1 root disk    8,   0 Nov 24 10:13 sda
-rw-rw-rw-   1 owner   1234    7045120 Sep 02  2012 music.mp3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Apr  4 23:57 www.nodeftp.github -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/www.nodeftp.github

• Msdos-style:

08-22-2018  02:05PM       <DIR>          wwwroot
08-22-18  12:59PM                99710 logo.jpg
08-22-18  03:01AM                99710 music.mp3

Examples:

use ftp_cmd_list_parse::FtpEntry;

let ftp_response: &'static str = "drwxr-xr-x  10 root   root    4096 Dec 21  2012 usr";
if let Some(ftp_entry) = FtpEntry::new(ftp_response) {
    println!("{}", ftp_entry.name()); // "usr"
    println!("{:?}", ftp_entry.kind()); // FtpEntryKind::Directory

    assert!(ftp_entry.is_unix_type()); // true
}

You need convert FtpEntry to FtpEntryUnix to see additional fields that MSDOS FTP server doesn't support:

use std::convert::TryFrom; // also you can create `FtpEntry` by use `TryFrom` or `TryInto` traits.
use ftp_cmd_list_parse::FtpEntry;

let ftp_response: &'static str = "drwxr-xr-x  10 root   root    4096 Dec 21  2012 usr";

if let Ok(ftp_entry) = FtpEntry::try_from(ftp_response) {
    match ftp_entry.try_to_unix_type() {
        Ok(ftp_entry_unix) => { // `FtpEntryUnix` type
            println!("Owner: {}", ftp_entry_unix.owner); // "root"
            println!("Group: {}", ftp_entry_unix.group); // "root"
            println!("Permissions: {}", ftp_entry_unix.permissions.as_str()); // "rwxr-xr-x"
        },
        Err(ftp_entry) => { // `FtpEntry` type
            // Here we got our `FtpEntry` back.
            println!("FtpEntry is not an UNIX-format!");
        }
    }

    // Also you can use pattern-matching to destruct enum:
    // if let FtpEntry::Msdos(ftp_entry_msdos) = ftp_entry {
    //     println!("name: {}", ftp_entry_msdos.name());
    // }
}

If you ensure what type of FTP server using, you can create FtpEntryUnix or FtpEntryMsdos struct directly:

use ftp_cmd_list_parse::FtpEntryUnix;

let ftp_response: &'static str = "drwxr-xr-x  10 root   root    4096 Dec 21  2012 usr";
if let Some(ftp_entry_unix) = FtpEntryUnix::new(ftp_response) {
    println!("Owner: {}", ftp_entry_unix.owner); // "root"
    println!("Group: {}", ftp_entry_unix.group); // "root"
    println!("Permissions: {}", ftp_entry_unix.permissions); // "rwxr-xr-x"
}
