That program has some things in it for HIPPA compliance, and shows how some of the inner workings of our money transfers work, otherwise I would...sorry.
The basic concept is something a good programmer should be able to knock out in less than a week, including testing. It really is a big Copy and Paste routine when you get down to it. If you have someone with the knowledge to write it as a C# or C++ program and have it run as a scheduled task or as a service, I would. Getting it running as a service is where we are headed right now, we just have to add in the HIPPA requirements, and some tracking/FED file compliance parts, which is a pain. Jon Summers, I.T.

Can you provide us your VB program? Sounds like it can be used -- I know I'm interested. How do you handle sharing violations when someone is sending you a large file the instance you're trying to copy? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Summers Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WS_FTP Forum] FTP Download & Delete??? Kevin, This info might help depending on how you are trying to accomplish this. We have a VB 6.0 program that is a "file mover". The program constantly cycles through the folders on that FTP site, copies the files out of our FTP server that are new, puts them in a directory on our file server, and then validates the files through a CRC/size validation before deleting the file off of the FTP server. If you modify this idea and set it up as a service on each box to check, say every 5 min, you should be able to accomplish what you are trying to do. You would have to either install a client program on each box or configure a program on the FTP server to distribute the files to each box. That would require static IP's or another way to ensure that the files go to the right place. You should also set up the users to have their own user ID, password, and folder for the same reasons. I think that, while you could do it through a script, an .EXE, or service, in C#, C++, or VB would work better for what you are trying to accomplish. The nice thing about services is that they auto restart, if you write them correctly ;-), and they log to an NT boxes log file as to when they error and why they errored. James, Your solution will work IF the users have their own user ID and password that goes to their own folder. Jon Summers, I.T. Director, E.F.G.

Configuring a .bat of script file to "fire-off" based on a download rule for the "Host" will probably also delete the files in all the other users folders I want to keep. I don't know enough about scripting to make it work and Ipswitch is NO help either. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Carcary Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 4:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WS_FTP Forum] FTP Download & Delete??? What about setting a Rule for File Download Attempts on the FTP Server? You could run a 'clean up' batch file after they download the file(s). James Carcary "K.

Our FTP server is WS_FTP (4.02). I have a client setup with their own "Host" with 10 individual "Folders/Virtual Folders". The client has 10 workstations using WS_FTP Pro(8.0). Each workstation downloads (Synchronizes) from only one designated Folder from the "Host". Q. I need to automatically delete the folders 'files' on a per-workstation-basis after it downloads (synchronizes).
