Using FTPDir returning files not present

Hi,

I am having an issue with the FTPDir command and it finding a file(ex. 081709.txt) in the "relius_dir" directory. I am certain that file no longer exist in that directory The job is scheduled at 5:50 AM and has 3 files in it. One of which is NOT the file mentioned above. However the job fails looking for a file in that directory the was present the day BEFORE but is not not there anymore. Its scheduled 5 days a week and seems to fail at least 2 times.

Whenever I do a re-run of the job it ALWAYS executes succesfully and doesn't look for that file even though the directory contents are exactly the same as the run at 5:50 AM.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Could the job be "hanging" on to the file in an old variable. If there a way to "flush" parameter or the job so to speak? Any help is appreciated...this thing is drving me nuts. Thanks!

The caching occurs on the client side in Windows. Internally the WININET library called from 24x7 reads your default IE browser settings and does something to pull the data from the cache. You can do 2 things to resolve that caching issue

1. In the browser settings disable caching.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271361 and http://www.ica.bc.ca/kb.php3?helpartid=7 for more info

2. Add FTPFileExists command to your script to test for the file.

Thanks for the response.

I was curious if turning off caching could adversely affect other jobs/processes on that box? I know that is a pretty broad question. Have you ever seen any adverse affects by turning off caching? Anything I should be aware of if I go this route.

Thanks again for your help!

It should have zero impact on other stuff and safe to turn off. This thing has been designed originally to improve experience of interactive users using IE web browser but unfortunately has wider reach because some components are shared by the system.
