cPanel API 2 Functions - Ftp::listftpsessions

Description

This function lists an account's active FTP sessions.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use the following UAPI function instead of this function:

  • Ftp::list_sessions — This function lists the FTP server's active sessions.

Examples 


 WHM API (JSON)

https://hostname.example.com:2087/cpsess##########/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_user=user&cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=Ftp&cpanel_jsonapi_func=listftpsessions

 LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
// List the account's active FTP sessions.
$list_ftpsesions $cpanel->api2(
    'Ftp''listftpsessions'
);

 LiveAPI Perl Module

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
# List the account's active FTP sessions.
my $list_ftpsessions $cpliveapi->api2(
    'Ftp''listftpsessions',
);

 cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 11.30 and later, cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that youonly use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs.

cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary widely in code syntax and in their output. For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.

 

 Command Line

cpapi2 --user=username Ftp listftpsessions

 

Notes:

  • You must URI-encode values.
  • username represents your account-level username.
