Q3UrlOperator Class Reference
[Qt3Support module]

Q3PtrList<Q3NetworkOperation> Q3UrlOperator::copy ( const QString & from, const QString & to, bool move = false, bool toPath = true )   [virtual]

Copies the file from to to. If move is true, the file is moved (copied and removed). from must point to a file and to must point to a directory (into which from is copied) unless toPath is set to false. If toPath is set to false then the to variable is assumed to be the absolute file path (destination file path + file name). The copying is done using the get() and put() operations. If you want to be notified about the progress of the operation, connect to the dataTransferProgress() signal. Bear in mind that the get() and put() operations emit this signal through the Q3UrlOperator. The number of transferred bytes and the total bytes that you receive as arguments in this signal do not relate to the whole copy operation; they relate first to the get() and then to the put() operation. Always check what type of operation the signal comes from; this is given in the signal's last argument.

At the end, finished() (with success or failure) is emitted, so check the state of the network operation object to see whether or not the operation was successful.

Because a move or copy operation consists of multiple operations (get(), put() and maybe remove()), this function doesn't return a single Q3NetworkOperation, but rather a list of them. They are in the order: get(), put() and (if applicable) remove().

See also get() and put().

void Q3UrlOperator::copy ( const QStringList & files, const QString & dest, bool move = false )   [virtual]

This is an overloaded function.

Copies the files to the directory dest. If move is true the files are moved, not copied. dest must point to a directory.

This function calls copy() for each entry in files in turn. You don't get a result from this function; each time a new copy begins, startedNextCopy() is emitted, with a list of Q3NetworkOperations that describe the new copy operation.

 Q3UrlOperator op( "http://www.whatever.org/cgi-bin/search.pl?cmd=Hello" );
 op.get();

 Q3UrlOperator op( "ftp://ftp.whatever.org/pub" );
 // do some other stuff like op.listChildren() or op.mkdir( "new_dir" )
 op.get( "a_file.txt" );

 Q3UrlOperator op( "http://www.whatever.org/cgi-bin" );
 op.get( "search.pl?cmd=Hello" ); // WRONG!

 Q3UrlOperator op( "ftp://ftp.whatever.com/home/me/filename.dat" );
 op.put( data );

 Q3UrlOperator op( "ftp://ftp.whatever.com/home/me" );
 // do some other stuff like op.listChildren() or op.mkdir( "new_dir" )
 op.put( data, "filename.dat" );
