Clovertechers!

I need some help here. I have an inbound ftp-fileset thread in which I need to check the filesize before processing to ensure the file is complete before grabbing it. I know I cannot get the mtime because of it being over FTP, so I thought I would go with the filesize, but am stuck on this as well.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jerry

  For an FTP interface to do this you need to write your own using TclCurl. It would be easy enough for Fileset/Local but not FTP.
  
  FWIW, we have added a flag to the Fileset protocol in CL 6.0. This flag will allow you to ask for a long directory listing when using a Directory Parse proc. It will give you access to times, sizes, etc.
  
  But for now, the TclCurl way is best. Of coues there is also an FTP package in tcllib that can be used but I prefer TcCurl

  I will investigate that the option with TclCurl to get by until 6.0 is finally released GA.
