How to connect to FTP and download file using Qt?

Question

On the picture you can see my GUI for my test project. What I want to do is:

Enter a ftp-url in the line-edit, connect/disconnect to the FTP-server and when I am connected, load a file from the server (button on the left).

I have Qt 5.9 and I cant find anything to include QFtp.

How I can solve this?

`QFtp` is deprecated. You can still download it separatelly and use. If you don't need raw access to FTP, you should use `QNetworkAccessManager` — Dmitry Sazonov, Dec 19 '17 at 08:21
I think I will have to download the QFtp. I've downloaded it from https://github.com/qt/qtftp. How do I include it into my project? — erniberni, Dec 19 '17 at 08:45
I think that first you should try to use official and documented things. But if you still want to complicate your life - you should do it by yourself (use google, to find how to build a Qt module), — Dmitry Sazonov, Dec 19 '17 at 09:07
Just use "search" on the site. The question was already answered here. https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=Qt+5+ftp — Xplatforms, Dec 19 '17 at 11:34

Please check QStringList QNetworkAccessManager::supportedSchemes() method output. Possible you will see ftp here and can use regular QNetworkRequest class for access to ftp.

I need to show the directories of the FTP too, is the QNetworkAccessMangager able to do this? – erniberni Dec 20 '17 at 06:43
