Bulk download of .rpt files from Enterprise Server 1

[PPMKev]

Hello,
we have 200+ reports that we want do download off of the Crystal Enterprise Server, we don't want to do this one at a time.

Is there a way to do a bulk download / copy.

Should i be able to access the server and use a windows explorer type interface to copy them?

Any help is appreciated, thanks
Kevin

I'm not aware of any way to do this. The problem is that the reports don't exist on the server as 'Sales Report', but rather CE assigned names such as ~102A4987.rot. So you could do a find on the server for all .rpt files in the Filestore/Input directory, but you wouldn't know which report is which without opening each one. Also, some of the .rpt files aren't actually reports but rather group trees for other reports.

I'd be very interested to know if anyone has a better way.
