FTP Append (APPE) Command

Does 24x7 support the FTP APPEND command?

APPEND (with create) (APPE)

This command causes the server-DTP to accept the data

transferred via the data connection and to store the data in

a file at the server site. If the file specified in the

pathname exists at the server site, then the data shall be

appended to that file; otherwise the file specified in the

pathname shall be created at the server site.

I'd like to see an JAL Function called FTPAppendFile.

No, sorry it does not.

As a workaround you can schedule a command line FTP script to run.
You can use "FTP -n -s:myscript.ftp ftp.mysite.com" command for this purpose

In the myscript.ftp put

USER myname
PWD mypassword
CD ...
APPEND ...
BUY

I meant of course BYE not BUY.

By the way, if you are appending to a local file (downloading) you can download to a new file then use

Run "cmd /b copy old_file + new_file", "", 0

script in 24x7 to append new file to the old one.

Sure.
