Newbie assistance with trivial task

[nitro7]

I have a trivial script that I need to get written, but my mind is having a hard time getting started.

Here is what I need to do, I need to download via FTP several files from different FTP servers each day. The files are presented in a format such as this:

show-MM-DD-YY.mp3

Here is an example of the command line using wget to get one of the files.

wget --ftp-user=USERID--ftp-password=USERID ftp://ftp.SERVER.com/fr-10-25-11.mp3

After I download the file I simply need to move the file here is the command line for the example above.

mv fr-10-25-11 c:\radio\daily_spots\forreal\For_Real_with_Jamey_Ragle.mp3

There is about a dozen spots that need downloaded daily and moved. This all needs to happen at midnight.

Any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Clint

I'd decide what fields you need to keep track of, and then, to make updating easy, build youself some sort of delimited text file.

For instance, I put one together with fields for: show, ftpaddress, userid, password, and destinationfolder, like this:

; FORMAT: showtitle|ftpaddress|userid|password|destinationfolder
Breaking Bad|ftp:\\123.123.123.123\Public|anonymous||c:\temp
The Daily Show|ftp:\\234.234.234.234\Incoming|user99|password99|c:\temp

Then something like this to process it:

#include <Array.au3>
Global $aShowData, $sShowList = @ScriptDir & "\showlist.dat"
; ==============================================================================
If Not FileExists($sShowList) Then
MsgBox(16, "I/O Error", "Showlist.dat file not found")
Exit
EndIf
$file = FileOpen($sShowList)
While 1
    $aShowData = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
If $aShowData = "" Or StringLeft($aShowData, 1) = ";" Then ContinueLoop; ignore blanks lines or ; comments
Process_Show()
Wend
FileClose($file)
Exit
; ==============================================================================
Func Process_Show() ; do your stuff here
$aShowData = StringSplit($aShowData, "|")
_ArrayDisplay($aShowData)
EndFunc

I'm sure there's something already in AutoIt that can replace wget.

Try InetGet.
