Change Remote FTP-Directory

Hi

Is it possible to change the remote FTP-Directory ?
Want to do something like:

FTPDir( "1.10.0.0.12", USER, PW, "/u1/AKLIVE/salog/SVITAMASTER*", tmpRemoteDIR )

"/u1/AKLIVE/salog" is not the initial directory after login

The "tmpRenmoteDIR" looks like : "SVITAMASTER001,SVITAMASTER002) etc.

If I try to use:
FTPGetFile( "1.10.0.0.12", USER, PW,tmpRemoteDIR, tmpRemoteDIR )

The GET doesn't find the files ... what can I do ?

Thanks

The FTPGetFile doesn't find it because by default it uses comma "," as a list separator, so in you case if you specify the full file name it thinks that you are going to download two files.

To change this default behavior change the list separation symbol to something else, for example to change it to "%" use

FTPConfig "LIST SEPARATOR", "%"

Then you can do FTPGetFile with a full file name

We are trying to download 2 or more files.... !!! the result from the FTPDIR
which is without the directory information...

But I cant pass that to the FTPGetFile ....

Open help topic for FTPDir, click the Example button in the help system menu and then copy and paste the example script. It will do exactly what you want. Do not forget to insert FTPCofig.

Alternatively you can use the appropriate graphical job template that will help you to automate FTP downloading with wildcards (use File/New/Job From Template menu)
