Download multiple files from FTP

[furrycow]

Hey, im trying to download multiple items from my ftp and have realised that if you log into your ftp, all the files show as hyperlinks, so thought this would be an easy to get all the files and to put them in the script directory

I've written all the necessary stuff beforehand for this to work....

For $oLink In $oLinks
Sleep(100)
Tooltip("Status: Link Number (" &$link& ")", 0, 0, "****** RUNNING ******")
InetGet ($oLink.href,@ScriptDir,1, 0) 
$link=$link+1
Sleep(500)
EndIf
Next

Just, how would i get it to cycle through every file and put every file in the same directory...at the moment, with this code, it downloads them, put doesnt put them anywhere, (theyre not in the directory)...the only time it actually downloads the a file is when i write...

InetGet ($oLink.href,@ScriptDir,1, 0) 

as

InetGet ($oLink.href,C:\file.exe,1, 0)

And even then it is only the last "$oLink.href" file that is in the directory...

So, my question is...is there anyway of downloading them with their current file names as determined on the ftp server, and to actually download all the files on there, not just the last one.

Thank you in advance!

The line

InetGet ($oLink.href,@ScriptDir,1, 0)

looks wrong to me as it will download the file to a local file called @ScriptDir.

To find the files and copy them you need to use these _ftp functions

To get the list of files

_FTPFileFindFirst, _FTPFileFindNext, _FTPFileFindClose

OR

_FTPListFiles

to download the files

_FTPGetFile

OR

InetGet

The ftp includes do not come with AutoIt so you have to search. There is a well used one in example scripts sticky by wouter.

I use this which is a collection from various places.

ftpplus.au3

If you need some help getting started just shout.
