FTP downlaod delay

[stevefromdodge]

We are using RoboTask to download files from a vendor via FTP. We are getting occasional corrupt files, because we are downloading the file before it is complete. The vendor is asking us to place a delay in our downloading task.

What's the best way to download all files in a directory that are older than 5 minutes?

Look at my example below:

Code: Select all

You can download files in the loop. FTP File Loop have date (Date-Time) filter

SSL FTP and sFTP File Loop have same filter.
