I'm making a program which recursively lists all files in a certain directory and uploads each file separately to an FTP server using WinINet. The problem I'm encountering is using filesystem::path::filename in the FtpPutFile() function because a LPCWSTR is needed. Whats the best and easiest way to convert it (or somehow use it as is)?
std::string path = "C:\\Programs";
for (const auto & entry : std::experimental::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator(path))
FtpPutFile(hIConnect, entry.path().filename(), entry.path().filename(), FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY, 0);
The error I get is: no suitable conversion function from "const std::experimental::filesystem::v1::path" to "LPCWSTR" exists
EDIT: Here is a solution that worked for me, by following Lightness solution:
std::string path = "C:\\Programs";
for (const auto & entry : std::experimental::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator(path))
FtpPutFile(hIConnect, entry.path().wstring().c_str(), entry.path().filename().wstring().c_str(), FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY, 0);
