Not sure which component(s)/package(s) I need for (wodFtpDLX / wodFtpDLX.NET)
Hi, I'm quite interested in the SFTP/FTP/SSH components since I will want to use SFTP with VBScripting but I'm not sure which one I need.
For example, I would want Windows Server to trigger a vbs everyday at 3am to download new folders/files and then delete them from the remote SFTP/SSH server after the transfer is complete. With this in mind, what component/package is recommended? As of now, I only need to access SFTP/SSH server but having the option to change the protocal to FTP and reuse the same code would be nice also.
Would I also be able to pipe the list of files from the SFTP/SSH component to a temporary file, and then use regular expressions to extract the file names and dates for further automated file manipulations?
Re: Not sure which component(s)/package(s) I need
Hi Confucion,
If you need to use SSH protocol, then i would suggest wodFtpDLX and wodSSH components. wodFtpDLX is a bit more expensive then wodSFTP, but it has support for FTP/SFTP/FTPS Protocols, while wodSFTP supports only SFTP Protocols. wodSSH supports SSH, Telnet and Raw Protocols.
As for your second question, you should be able to do that by using FileInfo argument from ListItems Event, or you could use Attributes Event to get File attributes.
However, i would also suggest you download trial version of our components and try them out first.
Hope I helped.

Damba

Thank you. It sounds like I am able to automate my SFTP/SSH file management tasks then, I will try the trial versions soon.
