Parse FTP url

[MarkusJNZ]

Hi all, does anyone know how I can parse an ftp url to retrieve the
server, login and password?

e.g. given a ftp url like

ftp://ftplogin:[email protected]

I can get out the following info

server = subdomain.domain.com
password = mypass
login = ftplogin

I can successfully get the url etc by doing string parsing etc but I
would like a better way which is not open to interpretation.

e.g. Someone might have a @ or a : in their password then the string
parsing may run into problems.

TIA
Markus

Hi Markus,

You want to see if the members of the Uri class can parse this for you:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.uri_members.aspx

I notice UserInfo pulls out the username and password:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.uri.userinfo.aspx

Yes, UserInfo pulls them out.
Then, with GetComponents, you can get the host server's name:

Sub Page_Load()
Dim uriAddress As New Uri("ftp://ftplogin:[email protected]/")
Label1.Text = uriAddress.UserInfo
Label2.Text = uriAddress.GetComponents(UriComponents.Host, UriFormat.Unescaped)
End Sub

See an example running at : http://asp.net.do/test/UriComponents.aspx
