Looking to write a FTP backup app

I've written a bunch of script/apps in AutoIT but nothing that accesses web-based data directly (ok, I wrote a file downloader but that hardly counts).

I want to write an app that will collect file lists via FTP along with date/time/size info for backing up to a local source. I'll expand on it later but right now this is my main design objective. I'd like the file timestamps to reflect the timestamps on the FTP site as well (some of my site navigation uses these timestamps for record sorting).

Is this something within the realm of AutoIT (coupled perhaps with a UDF lib)? What functions should I know about ahead of time for data transfers? Any potholes to be aware of before I start?

TIA

There is actually a newer version of the FTP file that supports ftpFindFirstFile.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...amp;hl=ftp+file

Thanks for the info

Thanks for that link.

Some time ago I searched about FTPFindFirstFile too. But I didn't make AutoIt UDF for it.

So now I can use it for my application which will download only newer data from FTP (with date/time newer than on local computer).
