|
Answer» hello, I have been working on a batch file with no SUCCESS, i was WONDERING if you guys could help me out. I am trying to COPY files from a ftp to a local drive. There are going to be about 1500 files on this ftp site so when it copies the file i want it to only download the new files and skip over the older files. ... Name them. Provide links, if possible. Maybe that will remind somebody else of something that you somehow did not find. Quote could someone please help me out? I'm one of those that has read your thread a couple times now. I'm just curious to see what the answer is myself. That could explain why others are reading it too. If you discover how to accomplish your goal elsewhere, please do POST the solution here for all to read.
