Hi everyone! While I consider myself new, I'm having a heck of a time trying to search my client's FTP site and download files. What I need to be able to accomplish is the ability to search for any new files that they have uploaded within the last 24 hours. I can log on, change directories, etc. I just cannot seem to grasp how to locate "NEW" files and then download them!!
Can someone please help point me in the right direction??
Thank you!!
Thom
FTP File Search?
Re: FTP File Search?
Look at the example below.
This task writes to task log only files which was updated at last day (24 hours)
You should have BASIC plugin for this task. Download it here: http://www.robotask.com/downloads/BasicForRoboTask.exe (the link always is on download page).
Save the task into a file and use menu Task -> Import in order to import it into RoboTask.
Just let me know if you need some comments or explanation for this task.

Re: FTP File Search?
Oleg,
I'm sorry. I'm lost. I installed the basic and entered the code as you stated but I don't see anything. I need this to "download" all the files that would have been uploaded within the last 24 hours.
Can you shed some light on this for me please?
Thank you!
Thom

Re: FTP File Search?
Use "SSL FTP download" action to download a file
See corrected example, step #10. Now the task downloads necessary files into temporary folder
Pay attention that this is an example only. In any case You should adapt the task for your purposes.
