Hello all,

A client has recently requested an ability to 'mirror' file contents across FTP without transmitting everything.

For example, a remote server has files A, B, C and D; and locally we already have files A and B. The requirement is to use a file listing from the remote server to identify that A and B have already been downloaded, and that only files C and D need to be transmitted.

I'm sure this could be done using something like the ExecuteSystemCommand node to return a remote directory structure, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has already done something like this?

Cheers,

Shaun

Depending upon which copy of the FTP node you are using, there is a "LIST" option that could then be filtered and sent to a second FTP node to download only the incremental files.
