Fileset-ftp – Walk the tree?

[Dennis Dunn]

Hi,

Can the fileset-ftp protocol handle subdirectories?  One of our clients puts files for us to process in a directory on an ftp site, one directory for each days data.  Can the the fileset-ftp protocol walk the directory tree, processing each file it finds?

I also would like to know how I would archive these files after they’ve been processed.   I know the ftp protocol has GET and PUT commands but I don’t think there is a MOVE command.

I can also access this directory using SMB, can the fileset-local use UNC naming conventions to find the files when running on Windows?

My other option is to script some ftp client to fetch the files and copy them locally where Cloverleaf can pick them up.  Any recommendations there?

Thanks for your help.

I am totally stoked on tcl!  After posting my request this morning for information I fired up http://www.tcl.tk and discovered that Yes! tcl can access UNC paths on Windows.  It took a couple of hours to write and test the little bit of tcl that does everything I need it to do.  Pretty much everthing was done with file and glob.

Thanks!
