Let me say I have some 20 - 30 files in a location , say,
http://FTP.SERVER.COM and the path initially where the files are available is
say \PATH\. Now I have 20 files, say,
1. k1.txt
2. ds2.xls
3 . \inerpath\kn.jpg
4 . pr.zip
5. abc.lmn
.
.
.
.
20. an.klp
Now, I will select only 6 files say file No 1 ,4,
7,8 ,9 and 20. I to download these 6 files I have to loop through each
file to download files. Now I dont want the loop.I just want get into
the FTP task "once" and select only the above 6 files (As a string?) and download these files. Is this possible?
I can do this . \path\*.zip. This works. But the above problem is not working . Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Kiran

regular old FTP has an MGET command that will allow you to fetch several files matching a pattern.

Ya, But this wont work out if the names of the files keep varying.

True, sounds like either you will need to have that directory cleaned out after you snag the files you want or you are going to have to keep a list of the files you have FTPd and parse a directory to see whats not on the list already.
