It worked fine ..

But is there a way to read from a file about the directories

for an example , the directories are not going to be constant and i am trying to get a file from a server by reading the param file a.txt

and placing it in a directory in the target which should also be read from a file

i am struggling a bit here

can anyone help me on this

Thanks

here's an idea to expand upon - it probably does not answer your specific question, but should make you think how to adopt it to what you need.

not sure of this function , so you mean to say that , the list of files i need ti define it in a variable , ?

before the ftp session starts

yes. the value of variable 'listOfFiles' is the pathname to the file containing the 'file names' that you need to operate on (one per line).

Just Checking whether will it work , if i give the directory there in list of files
mean to say only the directory name and getting all the files in the directory
to the remote server?

Thanks

well.... your initial explanation was not clear and I had to throw just an idea.
what exactly do you want to specify?

1. a list of files to be transfered?
2. a list of directories - and get/put ALL the files from 'listed' directories?
3. maybe a combination of the above????

What I've posted covers '1.'

combination of 1 & 3

I am asking the User to enter the Source Server

he enters the source userid& Password

Loggin to the source server and getting some files

This is my basic scenario

but i have a requirement that my filename and directory paths are not Static , so i need to define the directory to login to the source server and need to define the filenames and also need to define where i need to place the file (get) to the target server

Please let me know if this is a bit confusing

Thanks
