Evaluating software for use on a simple FTP script in case that matters for this issue.

Every time I download a file I lose the working remote directory so I am forced to issue a CWD every time I get a file?


ftpsetpath local, ~local_path;
ftpsetpath remote, "/";
ftpcustomcmd "CWD 'PFSFNAN.CBC.D04FSSN.'";

enablepasv();
settransfertype(ascii);
setduperules bysize overwrite overwrite overwrite;   

ftpdownload(file, "UNTT", "UNTT.txt");
ftpcustomcmd "CWD 'PFSFNAN.CBC.D04FSSN.'";
ftpdownload(file, "AREAT", "AREAT.txt");
ftpcustomcmd "CWD 'PFSFNAN.CBC.D04FSSN.'";
ftpdownload(file, "PRSNT", "PRSNT.txt");
ftpcustomcmd "CWD 'PFSFNAN.CBC.D04FSSN.'";
ftpdownload(file, "CAST", "CAST.txt");



HERE IS THE LOGFILE SHOWING WHAT I MEAN.

Hi bobg,

Please try this:

If you could change the the second line that I see, which is ftpsetpath remote, "/"; to ftpsetpath remote, "/PFSFNAN.CBC.D04FSSN."; then you could comment out with a # all of the lines that start with the word ftpcustomcmd.

Here is a sample script that worked for me:

setvar ~server_address, "john-pc";
setvar ~server_port, 21;
setvar ~login_name, "john";
setvar ~login_password, "password";
setvar ~local_path, "D:\\Temp";
setvar ~remote_path, "/PFSFNAN.CBC.D04FSSN.";

setduperules bysize overwrite overwrite overwrite;

ftpconnect ~server_address, ~server_port, ~login_name, ~login_password;

if ftpresult eq success begin
  # Successfully connected to remote server
  stringjoin ~connect_success_message,  "Successfully connected to remote server at ", ~server_address, " on port ", ~server_port, " for user ", ~login_name;
  print ~connect_success_message;

  ftpsetpath local, ~local_path;
  ftpsetpath remote, ~remote_path;
  #ftpcustomcmd "CWD PFSFNAN.CBC.D04FSSN.";
  enablepasv();
  settransfertype(ascii);
  ftpdownload file, "UNTT.txt";
  ftpdownload file, "AREAT.txt";
  ftpdownload file, "PRSNT.txt";
  ftpdownload file, "CAST.txt";

IF you need further help, please file a ticket at https://www.sysax.com/support/ and we can work with you personally.
