Can I use a ini file to designate the peramiters for the ftpgetfile and the ftpputfile operations.

I guess, YES!
The values of each key could be used as variables. No problem.

The below line is stolen from MScheds onlinehelp,

Code: Select all

FTPPutFile>ftp.domain.com,anonymous,[email protected],21,c:\temp\readme.txt,/pub/readme.txt,A

So your code would look like this:

Code: Select all


Let>File=readme.txt
Let>inifile=C:\Temp\Upload.ini
Let>section=Upload

ReadIniFile>inifile,section,Server,Server
ReadIniFile>inifile,section,Username,Username
ReadIniFile>inifile,section,Password,Password
ReadIniFile>inifile,section,Port,Port
ReadIniFile>inifile,section,Local,Local
ReadIniFile>inifile,section,Host,Host
ReadIniFile>inifile,section,Mode,Mode

Label>CheckForFile
Change Directory>%Local%
IfFileExist>%File%,Upload
Wait>3
Goto>CheckForFile

Label>Upload
ConCat>Local,%File%
ConCat>Host,%File%
FTPPutFile>Server,Username,Password,port,Local,Host,Mode

And the assigned INIFile Upload.ini should contain this:

[Upload]
Server=ftp.domain.com
Username=anonymous
Password=[email protected]
Port=21
Local=c:\temp\
Host=/pub/
Mode=A

BTW: It's nearly the same with GET

Thank you for the info

Everything worked except I cant get the file to post to a subdirectory it only posts the file to the root folder. I have checked the name and it is right. The local is working fine the Host is not.
Do you have any ideas?

Thanks

Have a try with doing it manualy to check if it's necessary to have a leading slash in the path. It's possible that the filesystem is configured differently, based on the OS which is used on the Server (I assume in the sample it's a UNIX Box (slash not backslash)).

If it's not that easy send a mail to MSched support.

If you can't solve this issue with MScheds FTP commands, search for the keyword FTP in this forum.

You'll find the option to use the generic FTP command which is part of your OS.
