[Feature request] Don't log ListDirectory items

2021-02-01 11:27

Hi there

Is there any change to add one more feature to ListDirectory method?
Sometimes we have 50000+ files on the SFTP server
and when we call ListDirectory we receive 50000+ rows in log file
can we have something like this?

ListDirectory(string path, bool writeLog = true)

Set "Reduced" logging level:

Session.DebugLogLevel = -1

You need WinSCP 5.18.1 beta for that though:

I've tested this. It doesn't work
It still returns list of items...
WinSCP 5.18.2 beta

session.DebugLogLevel = -1;
session.OutputDataReceived += SessionOnOutputDataReceived;
...
private void SessionOnOutputDataReceived(object sender, OutputDataReceivedEventArgs args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("FTP: {0}", args.Data);
}
...
return session.ListDirectory(path)

So are you referring to a log file or to the OutputDataReceived?

You can decide what you log in SessionOnOutputDataReceived, cannot you?

That's why I requested this feature
Can you at least add one more property to args object?
'from' or so...
so it will be possible to identify the method which log message came from

We will see, if more people ask for this.

Meanwhile – you know what method you are calling, right? So ignore the callbacks while you are calling the ListDirectory.
