Ftp and using mget

[vgwprja]

Is there a way of having a vb script pause after getting each file (using wscript.sleep ?). I need to do some processing on the recipient side before next file can be retrieved?

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If (objFSO.FileExists(strFTPScriptFileName)) Then
objFSO.DeleteFile (strFTPScriptFileName)
End If
Set objMyFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strFTPScriptFileName, True)
objMyFile.WriteLine ("open " & strFTPServerName)
objMyFile.WriteLine (strLoginID)
objMyFile.WriteLine (strPassword)
objMyFile.WriteLine ("cd " & strFTPServerFolder)
objMyFile.WriteLine ("bin")
objMyFile.WriteLine ("lcd " & strLocalFolderName)
objMyFile.WriteLine ("prompt off")
objMyFile.WriteLine ("mget " & strFilePut)
objMyFile.WriteLine ("disconnect")
objMyFile.WriteLine ("bye")
objMyFile.Close

Can you process the files after they are retrieved? I don't see how this can be accomplished during the mget.

Yes, I think that is what I will have to do. Thank you.

Another option might be to use another FTP client that can be "scripted" via Exec() and the stdio streams.

Example: MOVEit Freely

Oops, you wanted to use mget though and process in between. Sorry.
