Re: Loop on remote dir with except sftp script for get and rm each files

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wrote a script like this once in DOS batch and what I did was this..

1.  Get a list of all the remote files to download.  This was done by
redirecting the results of the DIR command to a file.
2.  Use that list to build the FTP script to retrieve files.  This is
instead of using a *.* for MGET.  One GET per item in the list worked so I
got everything that was there, and left anything new alone.
3.  When done, I would make another list of local files, and compare it to
the remote file list to check for any errors.
4.  If all was good, I used the initial remote list to remove files from
the serve.  This way you'll never touch any new files on the server.

Worked slick.  :)
