I am connecting to a remote server (Unix) and doing a ftp dowmload of files. The script (VB script) works fine except for not being able to move the downloaded files on the remote server to another folder.

I need to move all files with an .asc extesnion from folder "tovecellio_edi" to folder "tovecellio_edi/backup" and jeep the same name.

The code I have allows me to move a single file but I have problems with moving files using wildcard.

Here is my code:

If I do like this, moving a single file it works:

Thank you.

As an alternative, I solved a similar problem by creating a file on the Windows side that looked like:
rename a.asc backup/a.asc
rename b.asc backup/b.asc
mget *
quit

for each file that was received and processed successfully.
Then this file was used as input to ftp in the next download and moves the processed files ahead of the mget.

This allowed for re-running of the download if any of the files were corrupted.

There is another advantage to this procedure in that if a file is added to the unix directory while a download is taking place, it may not be transferred, and if you move all the files, that new file may be moved without ever being processed, whereas by only moving the files that have been processed, you preclude that possibility.
