I use the npm package ftp-client to download files from an ftp server. I cannot determine how to capture possible errors when attempting to connect to the remote server. Documentation on the ftp-client package is very sparse.
Can anyone help?
My code is below. As it stands any connection error (e.g. invalid password) just crashes the application.
const ftpClient = require('ftp-client');
require('dotenv').config();
const dtf_login = process.env.dtf_login;
const dtf_psw = process.env.dtf_psw;
const dtf_host = process.env.dtf_host;
function doDirDownload(remoteDir, localDir, callback){
var ftpOptions = {logging : 'none', overwrite : 'all'};
var ftpConfig = {host : dtf_host,
port : 21,
user : dtf_login,
password : dtf_psw};
c = new ftpClient(ftpConfig, ftpOptions);
c.connect((err) => {
if(err){
callback(err);
} else {
c.download(remoteDir, localDir,
{overwrite: 'all'}, (result) => {
callback(result);
});
}
});
}
