Hi everyone,
I'm new to ScriptFTP and am using the script below to sync from an FTP server to a local folder on the workstation. Once the sync is complete it leaves behind a .tmp file on the FTP server and the local folder. Seeing that it needs to run every 60 seconds it is placing hundreds of these temp files which I'd like deleted after every transfer or at the beginning of the next transfer.
Any suggestions?

It is very strange. ScriptFTP does not create .tmp files anywhere. Could you send the script output with verbose mode enabled? Put VERBOSE(ON) on the top of your script and run it again. Then copy the output from ScriptFTP window and paste here.
Also, a file listing showing the tmp files would be very useful.

The content of the .tmp files are always the same:
"ScriptFTP creates this file to calcul"
The names of each file is different every time:
"ScriptFTP creates this file to calcul"
The names of each file is different every time:
ScF169D.tmpetc etc etc...
ScF169D.tmp
ScF1DCA.tmp
ScF3669.tmp

Ops, yes, it seems that ScriptFTP indeed creates tmp files on your FTP server... you were right. This is because ScriptFTP uploads a tmp file each time SYNC is used to calculate the clock time difference between the FTP server and the ccomputer where ScriptFTP is run. This way synchronizations can be done correctly. But just after calculating this value, the tmp file is no longer needed and deleted by ScriptFTP. This is the normal way to work but... Look at this (from your log):
If you can contact or have access to the server admin, try changing your user settings from FTP server.
[ScriptFTP says] DELE ScF3669.tmpIt seems that your FTP server does not allow ScriptFTP to delete the tmp file it created a few seconds before. This is because the FTP user has not enough rights to delete files... which is very strange because it is allowed to create files.
[Server replies] 550 ScF3669.tmp: Access is denied.
