How are you downloading the entire folder?

[chenweibo]

There are no examples to download all the files inside the entire folder, thanks.

Here is a basic example

var Client = require('ftp');
var fs = require('fs');

  var c = new Client();
  c.on('ready', function() {
    c.list(function(err, list) {
      if (err) throw err;

      for(var i = 0; i < list.length; i++){
        const name = list[i].name
        c.get(name, function(err, stream) {
            if (err) console.dir(err);
            if(!err){
            stream.once('close', function() { c.end(); });
            stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(name,{flags: 'w'}));
            }
          });
      }
      c.end();
    });
  });
  c.on('error', function(err){
    console.log(err)
  })
  // connect to localhost:21 as anonymous
  c.connect();

How can you list the files in a subfolder?

[qdevos]

I didn't have to handle this case. According to the documentation, object in list have a "type" property that distinguishes whether it is a file or a folder. On the basis of this property, you should be able to adapt the treatment

Not sure if this is just because I don't understand streams well, but I'm trying to do basically the same thing as above, but save the contents of the file to an array of strings and I keep getting an error saying:

Error: Unable to make data connection
    at Socket.<anonymous> (node_modules/ftp/lib/connection.js:935:10)
    at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:421:28)

Here is my code, I'm not sure what could be causing this error:

c.on("ready", function() {
  c.list(function(err, list) {
    if (err) throw err;

    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
      const name = list[i].name;
      c.get(name, function(err, stream) {
        if (err) console.log(err);
        if (!err) {
          stream.once("close", function() {
            console.log("stream closing");
            c.end();
          });

          var body = "";
          stream.setEncoding("utf8");

          stream.on("data", (chunk) => {
            body += chunk;
          });

          stream.on("end", () => {
            console.log("end", body);
          });
        }
      });
    }
    c.end();
  });
});

How can you list the files in a subfolder?
