The LOAD script statement supports file transfers via FTP, with usernames and passwords and all.</P><P></P><P>You could create a headless QlikView data transfer document that is controlled by QDS and stores the data directly into QVD files. May save you a few steps and a lot of possible points of failure.</P><P></P><P>Best,</P><P></P><P>PEter</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 13 Jan 2015 09:59:45 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/How-to-automate-the-file-transfer-from-FTP-to-Local-Drive-for-QV/m-p/779595#M1297838 Peter_Cammaert 2015-01-13T09:59:45Z
