Handle attributes are used to control additional features of the FTP Client handle. These features are operation independent.
The attribute which can currently set on a handle concern the connection caching behavior of the handle, and the associations of plugins with a handle.

◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_add_cached_url()
Enable/Disable caching for a specific URL.
This function adds/removes the specified URL into the default cache for a handle attribute. Handles initialized with this attr will keep connections to FTP servers associated with the URLs in its cache open between operations .
- Parameters
-
attr | Attribute to modify |
url | URL string to cache |
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_add_plugin()
Add/Remove a plugin to a handle attribute set.
Each handle attribute set contains a list of plugins associated with it. When a handle is created with a particular attribute set, it will be associated with a copy of those plugins.
Only one instance of a specific plugin may be added to an attribute set. Each plugin must have a different name.
A copy of the plugin is created via the plugins 'copy' method when it is added to an attribute set. Thus, any changes to a particular plugin must be done before the plugin is added to an attribute set, and before the attribute set is used to create handles.
- Parameters
-
attr | The attribute set to modify. |
plugin | The plugin to add or remove from the list. |
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_copy()
Create a duplicate of a handle attribute set.
The duplicated attribute set has a deep copy of all data in the attribute set, so the original may be destroyed while the copy is still valid.
- Parameters
-
dest | The attribute set to be initialized to the same values as src. |
src | The original attribute set to duplicate. |
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_destroy()
Destroy an FTP client handle attribute set.
This function destroys an ftp client handle attribute set. All attributes on this set will be lost. The user must call globus_ftp_client_handleattr_init() again on this attribute set before calling any other handle attribute functions on it.
- Parameters
-
attr | The attribute set to destroy. |
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_init()
Initialize an FTP client handle attribute set.
This function creates an empty FTP Client handle attribute set. This function must be called on each attribute set before any of the other functions in this section may be called.
- Parameters
-
attr | The new handle attribute. |
- See also
- globus_ftp_client_handleattr_destroy()
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_set_cache_all()
Set/Get the cache all connections attribute for an ftp client handle attribute set.
This attribute allows the user to cause all control connections to be cached between ftp operations. When this is enabled, the user skips the authentication handshake and connection establishment overhead for multiple subsequent ftp operations to the same server.
Memory and network connections associated with the caching will be used until the handle is destroyed. If fine grained caching is needed, then the user should disable this attribute and explicitly cache specific URLs.
- Parameters
-
attr | Attribute to query or modify. |
cache_all | Value of the cache_all attribute. |
- See also
- globus_ftp_client_handleattr_add_cached_url(), globus_ftp_client_handleattr_remove_cached_url(), globus_ftp_client_handle_cache_url_state() globus_ftp_client_handle_flush_url_state()
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_set_clientinfo()
Set/Get client info reported to server.
- Parameters
-
attr | Attribute to modify |
app_name | Name of client application. |
app_version | Client application specific version string. |
other | Additional client info to be reported to the server. This may be used to pass custom info to a custom server module. The format of the string must be: key1="value1";key2="value2";[keyn="valuen";] |
Any parameter may be NULL. By default, generic library info will be reported to the server – set all NULL to disable this.
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_set_gridftp2()
Enable/Disable GridFTP2 [GFD.41] support for servers supporting it. This currently only applies to the GET/PUT command.
- Parameters
-
attr | Attribute to modify |
gridftp2 | Set to GLOBUS_FALSE to disable GridFTP2 support. GridFTP2 support is enabled by default for servers that support it. |
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_set_netlogger()
Set the netlogger handle used with this transfer.
Each handle can have a netlogger handle associated with it for logging its data.
Only 1 netlogger handle can be associated with a client handle.
- Parameters
-
attr | The attribute set to modify. |
nl_handle | The open netlogger handle to be associated with this attribute set. |
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_set_pipeline()
Enable/Disable command queueing for pipelined transfers.
- Parameters
-
attr | Attribute to modify |
outstanding_commands | Set to the number of commands to have sent without receiving a reply. Use 0 for the library default. |
pipeline_callback | Set to a function of type globus_ftp_client_pipeline_callback_t to enable command pipelining. This function will be called during a transfer operation to request the next urls to be transferred. |
pipeline_arg | User data that will be passed in the pipeline_callback. |
◆ globus_ftp_client_handleattr_set_rfc1738_url()
Enable/Disable rfc1738 support for non-root relative URLs.
- Parameters
-
attr | Attribute to modify |
rfc1738_url | Set to GLOBUS_TRUE to enable non-root relative URLs. Default of GLOBUS_FALSE specifies root-relative URLs. |
