FTP server contains files.
File names contain 4 character fixed prefix (PRE_ ) timestamp and some suffix
and have different extensions like
PRE_20140101153807.1233511.PDT-220-4362133316.ext
PRE_20140101253807.12e3511.PDT-220-5362133330-32.ext
PRE_2014010"253807.12e3511.PDT-220-78921333123.ex2
new files are added periodically to this directory, it may contain whole year files.
How to read those files from VFP9 application ?
Application should ask from ftp server for new file list from last load and retrieve those
files. Last load date can saved in dbf file in application.
Or if this is too sophisticated, appl can retrieve whole directory list, find new files and retrieve
them.
How to implement this in VFP9 ?
Should I use RUN FTP command to automate windows ftp.exe ?
Or should appl call wininet.dll functions ?
Or is FTP implemented in VFP code ?
I have found some vfp code but not sure which is best way for this.
Application will run in lot of computers and preferably in shoudl be deployed by copiing, without
requiring administrator rights to install and run or activex manual installation.
