Need help writing a script? Have any question about ScriptFTP?
Hello,
I need help writing script where I can continously check for a file on the remote host. If host doesn't have a file disconnect the session. If the host does have file download the file.

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

Cheers
Great site!
found my answer, here is how i did it.
Code: Select all# Get the remote file listing, store it in $list GETLIST($list,REMOTE_FILES) # For each file in $list... FOREACH $item IN $list # Download the file  $result=GETFILE($item) # If the file has been downloaded successfully        # delete the remote copy. Else stop the script.  IF($result=="OK")  DELETEFILE($item)      GOTO:CONTINUE    ELSE  STOP      GOTO:ALT        END IF END FOREACH :ALT CLOSEHOST EXIT :CONTINUE #Wait 10 Seconds SLEEP(10) #Copy files from Download folder to Backup folder EXEC("copy C:\test\download\*.* C:\test\backup")
Hello Luke ;)

There is another way:
Code: Select all:start # Get the remote file listing, filter it to the # files that match the file name "thefile.txt" GETLIST($list,REMOTE_FILES,"thefile.txt") IF(COUNTELEMENTS($list)==1)  PRINT("The file exists") ELSE  PRINT("The file does NOT exist") END IF # Wait for 10 seconds SLEEP(10) # Jump to the start of the script GOTO :start
