Hi,

I should download files from a server ftp. In some cases, there is missing of some files.

So i want to check if all files are included on the FTP.

I tried to find some informations here, but it seems file fonction(like filesize()...) aren't supported by ftp.

Someone know if there are others ways to do it.

Thanks

Use a tool like curl or wget to get a list of files from the ftp server and then check that list.

This is a good idea.

I created a list including all files expected. And i use a batch file to get a list of file as you indicated.

And then i compare these 2 list for getting missing file.

Thanks.
