The job downloads the latest files from the FTP server to a local directory. Files can be overwritten or added as new files with a changed name. Tasks also allows you to delete downloaded files from the FTP server, provided that the user (which you are logging in to) has the right to do so. Only files in a given directory on the server are downloaded (directories are not searched or downloaded). After downloading the files, the task saves the latest date of the modified file on the FTP server in the local database and the next task firing downloads newer files from that date. If you want to retrieve files with an earlier date, you must edit the table entry in the database before running this task. |
