how to leave a folder set for when to save? and a folder set to open files?

Question

I would like to lock the folders, so that I could not fetch files or save files in other folders, only in the defined, EX Folders: c:\banco_de_dados and another call c:\FTP_Servidor

In case it would be to leave the path set to send the database to the server automatically.

source part:

begin

if OpenDialog1.Execute then
if SaveDialog1.Execute then

idftp1.Put(OpenDialog1.FileName, '/projeto_ftp/banco/' + ExtractFileName(SaveDialog1.FileName));

  // ShowMessage('Transferido');

idftp1.Get(SaveDialog1.FileName, '/projeto_ftp/' );

You can validate the path after the person select the file in this way

OpenDialog1.initialDir := 'C:\Seu\caminho\busca\';
SaveDialog1.initialDir := 'C:\Seu\caminho\salvar\';

if(OpenDialog1.Execute)then
begin
  if(ExtractFilePath(OpenDialog1.FileName) = 'C:\Seu\caminho\busca\')then
  begin
    if(SaveDialog1.Execute)then
    begin
      if(ExtractFilePath(SaveDialog1.FileName) <> 'C:\Seu\caminho\salvar\')then
      begin
        idftp1.Put(OpenDialog1.FileName, '/projeto_ftp/banco/' + ExtractFileName(SaveDialog1.FileName));
        // ShowMessage('Transferido');
        idftp1.Get(SaveDialog1.FileName, '/projeto_ftp/' );
      end;
    end;
  end;
end;

In order to be invisible to the customer, you would have to set the paths in the source manually without the option of it being able to select...

An example would be like this:

procedure SeuMetodo();
var
  cCaminhoSalvar: String;
  cCaminhoServidor: String;
  cCaminhoArquivo: String;
begin
  cCaminhoSalvar   := 'C:\Seu\caminho\salvar\';
  cCaminhoServidor := 'servidor\arquivos';
  cCaminhoArquivo  := 'C:\Seu\caminho\busca\arquivoTal.bd'; {Aqui teria que tratar o nome do arquivo, caso exista mais de um na pasta}

  idftp1.Put(cCaminhoArquivo, cCaminhoServidor + ExtractFileName(cCaminhoArquivo));
  // ShowMessage('Transferido');
  idftp1.Get(cCaminhoSalvar, cCaminhoServidor);
end; 

(*Não lembro a ordem correta dos parâmetros do PUT e GET*)

Note: To automate your application, you could create a service for it and within the service use a thread with a counter inside it and then, for example, every 1hr it makes the necessary validations and sends your data.
