Hi

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm trying to create an autodownload from an ftp site from within my load script.

At the moment I managed to  create a  vb script that uses the Chilkat FTP Object and it seems to be working nicely. Ned to fine tune it abit ..

Regards

Ah - ok.

I've done something similar in the past, though I downloaded via an SSIS task on a schedule to a shared folder that QV scraped from.

Have for example a look here: Re: For Each File in Filelist - FTP load is not working?

For automatically loads from a ftp-source you don't need vbs - you could create loops with variable inside the load-script, but the ftp-protocoll is limited so it could be easier to use external vbs/batch-files per execute-statement.
