Can you use a sync job instead? You could set it up so that it deletes the files (on a file by file basis) from client B after it passes it over to Client A. One issue may be if you want to sync only one type of file (*.txt), and the location you are checking has many other file types. In that case, you'd need to set up an exclusion list for file types or specific files.
Hope this helps! Laima -----Original Message----- From: Compton, David L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 3:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Scripting Problem I have two windows 2000 boxes. One of them (server A) is running WS_FTP server and SSH server the other (client B) has WS_FTP Pro client. I have a script that runs on the WS_FTP Pro client (client B) as a scheduled task every hour. It contacts the FTP server (server A), checks to see if there are any new files and FTPs them if there are. Here is the problem. I want to delete the files from the server once they have been transferred however, I'm using "mget *.txt" to get them and "mdelete *.txt" to delete them. Normally this works great however, the server side is feed from yet another server and I'm afraid that an "mdelete *.txt" might delete a file that transferred to (server A) between the initial "mget *.txt" and the "mdelete *.txt" Is there anyway to ensure this doesn't happen? It would be great if there was a way in the scripting language to get a directory listing prior to issuing the MGET command and then issuing is on a per file basis. I could do this in UNIX but frankly I'm not that good in windows. Anyone know how to do this?
