The question would really just apply to files. I would be automating a daily download from a specific directory to which I have access.
The files would follow this format: II20080830_033219_ACR.log Everything but the hour/minute/second part is consistent each day: II20080830_xxxxxx_ACR.log The x's are where I need variable characters since that's the exact hour/minute/second the file is created. But thinking about your comments about using cfdirectory, would I be able to access the directory the files are in each day, get a list, and download them via ftp each day? Can cfdirectory read a remote directory and provide a list of files? I glanced around the docs and google but didn't see an answer, so thought it'd just be quicker to ask than research all day.
