Hello *,
I must make an FTP-Access to an remote Server.
The FTP-Provider provide for a normal File a separate .ok-File. If this .ok-File exist it´s "safe" to download the normal file, e.g:
File1.txt
File1.txt.OK
After the download is ended normally, both files should be deleted.
How can I handle this with scriptFTP?
Kindly regards
Marc

Hello Marc,
There is a script sample at http://www.scriptftp.com/examples.php?g ... delete.ftp that performs a very similar task. All you have to do is to find this chunk:

Hello,
thank yout for the help.
But If I change it to:
So in this case I must have a function like:
if $item.OK exist then download $item and $item.OK
Is this possible?

thank yout for the help.
But If I change it to:
Code: Select all
only the OK-Files will be downloaded. I tested it with these functions:$result=GETLIST($list,REMOTE_FILES,"*.OK")Code: Select all
This works great, but FTPScript will download all files, generally! But I have the problem, that I have to wait for the OK-File to download the DATA- and the OK-File. # For each file in $list...
FOREACH $item IN $list_ok
# Download the file
$result_ok=GETFILE($item)
# If the file has been succesfully downloaded
  # delete the remote copy. If not stop the script.
IF($result_ok=="OK")
DELETEFILE($item)
ELSE
STOP
END IF
END FOREACH
FOREACH $item IN $list_txt
$result_txt=GETFILE($item)
IF($result_txt=="OK")
 DELETEFILE($item)
ELSE
 STOP
END IF
END FOREACHSo in this case I must have a function like:
if $item.OK exist then download $item and $item.OK
Is this possible?

I tested it now wiith following function:
Code: Select all
So "Not Equal" is in that case the normal statemen, because the file will differ in the extension (file1.txt, file1.txt.ok). I don´t know the filenames, only the extension! $result_ok=GETLIST($list_ok,REMOTE_FILES,"*.ok")
$result_txt=GETLIST($list_txt,REMOTE_FILES,"*.txt")
IF ($list_ok==$list_txt)
GOTO :download
ELSE
PRINT("NOT EQUAL")
GOTO :end

Hello Marc,
http://www.scriptftp.com/ScriptFTP_3_0_setup_devel.exe
I've just added to ScriptFTP two new commands (TEXTCUT and TEXTLENGTH) that are used to remove the trailing ".OK" from the variable that contains the file name. This new value is used to download the corresponding file.
So "Not Equal" is in that case the normal statemen, because the file will differ in the extension (file1.txt, file1.txt.ok). I don´t know the filenames, only the extension!Ok. Now I understand what you want. Install ScriptFTP again from this URL:

Please, post any thought or result you may have.# This script piece gets the remote file listing and downloads a
# file only if it exists also a remote file with the same file name
# with a trailing ".OK". For example, for this remote file listing:
#
# 1234.txt
# abcd.zip
# 1234.txt.OK
#
# Only 1234.txt along with 1234.txt.OK will be downloaded and

$result=GETLIST($list,REMOTE_FILES,"*.OK")
IF($result!="OK")
STOP

FOREACH $item IN $list

I just got ScriptFTP today and posted a request on the Wanted Features forum, but this looks like server code to me.
I can do code in this form but I am running it on my XP machine to make sure I always have the files on the server on my machine.
Is this an Advanced Server Side .ftp Coding Format?
Or can I use it on my home XP end?
It's the variables that are throwing me off.
All I know is, if I can program sFTP on my end based on more than just exact date, like on file size, and make some logical IF/THEN decessions that would be great.
