Hi,

Is there an easy way to download several FTP files in a folder (images), within current date and lets say, 2 days old?

You can download files in the loop.
FTP File Loop (also SSL FTP File loop and sFTP File loop) has date filter.
You select only files older than 2 days (see screenshot):

Oleg,

In my Robotask there is no date filter in any of the FTP file loops. How can I fix this?

Date filters has been implemented in version 5.8. You can update your version up to latest for 40% of full cost. ("1 year of free updates" option)

For your current version you can make such filter yourself.
You have to save the time of last update of each file and make the condition in the loop.
Like this (see the example):

Code: Select all
