FTP connection to download files based on timestamp

[stack900]

Hi,

We have a directory of files on our ftp server. I need a script that runs every 15mins to make a connection to the ftp server and download all files that were added or updated within the last 15mins to a local drive

or on to a different windows server? Files that have not been changed or added need not be copied.

Please help! Thanks.

I have a script which loads a listview with the files and directories on a server with the date and time. It can adjust the date/time by a whole number of hours in case the server is in another time zone. You can double click on directories to move around etc. It can also copy files and folders. It is a very specific application but if you are interested I can cut out the stuff that is of no use to anyone else and send you the rest. It doesn't have much in the way of comments. You would have to modify it to copy files with a time stamp later than whatever, and make it test every so 15 minutes.

If you want it let me know (a PM is best) but I might not reply for a day say.

Hi Martin,

That would be awesome if you could send that script to me and i can try modifying it to fit my needs. Thanks much!

If you are using ftp you do not need InetGet. Have you looked at any of the ftp.au3 UDF's?

If not then I can send you one that I use which I forget how I got but I think it is a collection of the best I could find on the forum, because some of the ftp.au3 posts have bugs.

The one I use has the following functions

;_FTPPutFile

;_FTPOpen

;_FTPConnect

;_FTPDelFile

;_FTPRenameFile

;_FTPMakeDir

;_FTPDelDir

;_FTPClose

;_FTPPutFolderContents

;_FTPCommand

;_FTPGetCurrentDir

;_FtpSetCurrentDir

;_FTPGetFileSize

;_FTPFileFindFirst

;_FTPFileFindNext

;_FTPFileFindClose

;_FTPGetFile

; _FileTimeToSystemTime
