A value which specifies the format of a directory listing returned by the server.
Values other than formatAuto should only be set if the class library cannot automatically determine the directory format returned by the server. The default directory format is determined both by the server's operating system and by analyzing the format of the data returned by the server. If the class is unable to automatically determine the format, it will attempt to parse the list of files as though it is a UNIX style listing.
| Member Name | Description |
|---|---|
| formatAuto | This value specifies that the control should automatically determine the format of the file lists returned by the server. It is recommended that most applications use this value and allow the control to automatically determine the appropriate file listing format used by the server. |
| formatUnix | This value specifies that the server returns file lists in the format commonly used by UNIX servers. Note that many servers can be configured to return file listings in this format, even if they are not actually a UNIX based platform. Consult the technical reference documentation for your server for more information. |
| formatMsdos | This value specifies that the server returns file lists in the format commonly used by MS-DOS based systems. This includes Windows NT servers. Long file names will be returned if supported by the underlying filesystem, such as NTFS or FAT32. |
| formatVms | This value specifies that the server returns file lists in the format commonly used by VMS servers. Note that VMS servers can be configured to return a standard UNIX style listing in additional to the default VMS format. |
| formatSterling1 | This value specifies that the server returns file listings in a proprietary format used by the Sterling server, which is used for EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) applications. This format uses a 13 byte status code. |
| formatSterling2 | This value specifies that the server returns file listings in a proprietary format used by the Sterling server, which is used for EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) applications. This format uses a 10 byte status code. |
| formatNetware | This value specifies that the server returns file listings in a proprietary format used by NetWare servers. The format is similar to UNIX style listings except that file access and permissions are indicated by letter codes enclosed in brackets. This is the default format selected if the server identifies itself as a NetWare system. |
