iphone - Get all folders of URL

Question

Hi I'm trying to read all files from a given server. What I want to do:

• Read all the folders
• Get the file URLs inside the folders

I tried this to get the folders and filey of my server, but it returned me an array with the folders of my MacBook:

NSURL *directory = [NSURL URLWithString:@"linktoserver"];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error = nil;
self.contentList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[fileManager contentsOfDirectoryAtURL:directory includingPropertiesForKeys:[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:NSURLNameKey, nil] options:NSDirectoryEnumerationSkipsHiddenFiles error:&error]];
if (error != nil) {
    NSLog(@"ERROR: %@",[error localizedDescription]);
}
NSLog(@"%@",contentList);

Log:

> 2011-04-06 15:37:38.413 Bildergalerie[744:207] (

>     "file://localhost/Benutzerhandbu%CC%88cher%20und%20Informationen",
>     "file://localhost/Cancel",

>     "file://localhost/Library/",

>     "file://localhost/Shockwave%20Log",
>     "file://localhost/System/",
>     "file://localhost/Users/",
>     "file://localhost/usr/" )

Can anyone help me to find the answer? I'm really confused and Google didn't find a good solution or tutorial.

Thanks a lot, mavrick3.

You can't do this with NSFileManager. NSFileManager is intended to work with your file system (your device's file system) not with server.

you need to create a server side file which should give you folder/files url in xml file
