Hello,
I have a certain problem with Script FTP. My problem is about download from ftp to local folder. Script ftp first writes a temporare xyz.mpg.part and after complete download it renames the file to xyz.mpg
But this temporarly xyz.mpg.part causes a big problem for my converting program who should work on the downloaded file. My question is how can I tell script FTP to directly write on local folder to the definitive filename xyz.mpg ?

Thanx

Hello,

The xyz.mpg.part file is normal, this means that the download is not complete.

If ScriptFTP was not to create the .part file then your converting program would have a problem trying to work on an uncomplete file.

Think of this like trying to open a file that you know where the file starts, but you do not know where the file ends.
