RE: sftp error in batch when no files to transfer

I haven't tried it with two separate batch files, but I did put an "ls" before and after the "get *" line, just to see what would happen. I don't see an extra splf based on the "ls" line, just the output including "File not found" for the get. Being sftp -b, there is no processing of results along the way. It's much like the old FTP script with overriding the INPUT and OUTPUT, and hoping for the best.

Sean,
Forgive me if I am not following this thread, but I was thinking "ls" would precede get * and, depending on that result, the script would exit without attempting get *

I actually tried adding a line with just "ls" after the "get *" in the scriptfile, and it still ended in error as soon as it ran the "get *"

I don't use PASE much but for my FTPs, I check the download file record count. Maybe you could check the record count of the downloaded file and if the record count is > 0, ignore the error?
