Hi,

As soon as the directory you want to scan is on your ftp server, I'm afraid you have to build an infinite loop (with wait time for each iteration) to scan directory content using a tFTPFileList or tFTPFileExist component.

Can you tell me how? 

InfiniteLoop Component on iterate to tFtpFilelist doesn't work.

You need to build the loop by yourself using tLoop and tSleep component.

The tFTPFileList must be part of the component after tLoop.
