I am using ScriptFTP to allow me to FTP a file to a server so that it can be used for our website. The file is an access database that the website code can use to look up case history for one of our clients. The file isn't terribly big (190 MB). My problem seems to happen in random intervols. Usually the file is uploaded to the server with no problems, but for the last 2 nights, after the putfile is exicuted, the file is not renamed to the original name and file extention. Only the .part file is there. I have tried to modify the script but I would like some feedback before I make it live.

  6. #Change directory to Dataread\BTA and place BTAWebAccessDB.mdb there

  14. #See if the file was correctly transfered by making sure a '.PART' file does not exist.
  15. IF ("BTAWebAccessDB.mdb.part" = TRUE)
  16.    
  17.     #this will allow the putfile to start again if the .PART file DOES exist.
