Buhli Buhli Fresh Scripter Registered: 2012-09-24 Posts: 28 Loc: Berlin, Germany	Hello gents, i need some help of you guys again. When i tried out some examples, i found at the forums, i was really confused and they didn't work for me. The challenge i have is to make an automated ftp Login, if there are files-copy them to a local dir and remove them from the ftp-Server. On the ftp-Server are no sub-directories, just the main directory with a couple of XML-files. my thinking was: $Server = "ftp://blabla.com" $User = "Dummy" $Pass = "DummyPass" $Source ="ftp://blabla.com\.xml" $Target = "C:\TargetDir\.xml" Sorry about my fooling, but i don't understand all the stuff in the FTPget-function. I'm pretty sure i did something wrong, but what? Maybe i also should use a variable $ file, not sure. I am the Hardware guy in my Company, not a prgrammer. Can someone help me with this please? For you guys it's maybe not a big deal, but for me it is. The OS where it should run is Win XP - is there any different on other Windows btw? Thank you very much for listen me and i hope, i posted this in the correct forums, Buhli

The FTP command syntax is "get" for a single file or "mget" for wildcard returns. You might want to try and change the following Code: if $sUser $oFTP.Open("GET", $sURL, not 1, $sUser, $sPass) else $oFTP.Open("GET", $sURL, not 1) endif to put an "M" in front of each "GET". The result will be to pull down all of the XML files. Unless there's a mechanism to later remove the files from the FTP server, you'll keep pulling the same files over and over again, along with any new ones.

I tend to take liberties with my ancestry $;\)$ - I only use an "a" to differentiate between arrays and simple vars in most cases, although I do use an "o" to reference COM Objects.

Buhli - you might look into scripting the FTP command sequence with an FTP command file to accomplish the multi-file transfer if the MGET indeed doesn't work..

Buhli Buhli Fresh Scripter Registered: 2012-09-24 Posts: 28 Loc: Berlin, Germany	Hi gents, mget don't work??? I see one more problem and i have no clue how to fix this. Not tried right now, just planning. If it would work with mget and then with mdelete all the files, it is quite dangerous imo-maybe there comes another file between the commands. I guess it will be removed as well?! Btw, you guys really make me think about scripting;) Cheers, Buhli

Buhli Buhli Fresh Scripter Registered: 2012-09-24 Posts: 28 Loc: Berlin, Germany	Is there an option to get and remove them one by one? That would be great, but i have no idea it is possible or not to make a loop in the ftp block. I don't want to reconnect all the time, but if it is nesscary... Buhli

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ftpget() is just a get. if you want to actually manage the other end, this is not the way to go. instead you should be looking to a real ftp client. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/96269 _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4403 Loc: New Jersey	Use Shell to call a script like Lonk referenced to do an LS command to a file. Next, open and enumerate the file from kix. You can use ftpget() to get the files. After each get, use a batch file to RM the file from the server. This way, you get all the files, and delete all the files you processed. You won't get or delete any file that arrives during your script processing.
