GoldRaccoon

General Notes

GoldRaccoon is the iOS component to connect to a FTP service and do the following:

Why another Raccoon?

First, because the humanity needs it.

This project started on 29/06/2013 for the Objective-C Hackathon (http://objectivechackathon.appspot.com/).

GoldRaccoon aims to be an evolution of BlackRaccoon (which is an evolution of WhiteRaccoon), maybe the best (or at least one of the few) third-party component out there for handling FTP operations on iOS.

I forked the public repo of BlackRaccooon in May 2013 and added some improvements that have been merged into master to BlackRaccoon. Even though BlackRaccoon does what it says, I prefer to clean it a little and use a different and more extensible code structure.

Most of the code is therefore written by Valentin Radu and Lloyd Sargent, the main extensions I (Alberto De Bortoli) added are:

Usage

If you'd like to include this component as a pod using CocoaPods, just add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "GoldRaccoon"

otherwise

@property (nonatomic, strong) GRRequestsManager *requestsManager;
self.requestsManager = [[GRRequestsManager alloc] initWithHostname:<hostname>
                                                              user:<username>
                                                          password:<password>];
self.requestsManager.delegate = self;
