Re: FW: Retrieve directory contents of an FTP server -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Bob,

have you tried with CURL from 5733OPS?

You can perform something like

*QSH CMD('curl ftp://FTPSERVER/PATH_TO_DIR --user bob:BobsPasswd > /home/BOB/FTPDIR.lst')*

to redirect the output to a file.

Then you can upload the content to a PF using CPYFRMSTMF

So I've been looking at Scott's FTP API. I tried to post this message to his FTP-API mailing list, but my message was rejected for some reason. Maybe someone here can shed some light:

So, I need to connect to a partner's FTP site and download and remove any files they've added in a specific directory since the last session.

I can't use MGET with MDEL as I might delete something that hasn't been processed yet. I need to get the list of files, then get and delete each file individually.

Which FTPAPI procedure would be best for getting the list of files? I see FTP_dir, FTP_dirraw, FTP_list, and FTP_lstraw as possible options. What are the differences between each of these?

Anyone else doing the same thing and willing to share the script?

Thanks

I just started looking at Scott's FTPAPI. I agree, it looks quite a bit more functional.

Thanks

Don't use this code...

The best solution is Scott's FTPAPI...

You have direct control over the FTP interaction.
