List the contents of the Upload or Download folder

The List Folder functionality is available for the following transfer sites: SSH, HTTP(S), FTP(S) and Folder Monitor. It allows you can check whether the Upload or the Download folder of a transfer site is accessible and list its content by clicking the List button below the folder path. Using the transfer site settings currently specified on the page, SecureTransport connects to the remote partner and presents a list of the remote folder's files and subfolders, along with the following information:

• Connection status - success or failed.
• The total number of files and folders in the remote folder. When a download pattern is specified in a HTTP(S) transfer site, the total number of files and folders is the same as the number of the filtered files.
• The number of listed files and folders. The quantity of listed entries is limited to 50 by default. You can adjust the limit to suit your needs by specifying a value for the ListRemoteFolder.Result.Files.Limit server configuration option.
• File permissions held by the user. Note that for Folder Monitor transfer sites, the file permissions field is empty for Windows folders.

Note

This functionality is also available as a REST API resource: /sites/operations.

Note

During the remote folder listing only a limited set of Expression Language functions can be used. For example, environment variables will not be evaluated. Custom properties passed in a REST API list request through the /sites/operations endpoint are supported.
