listener (General questions)

by havey, Friday, October 13, 2006, 23:02 (6615 days ago)

Hi, was wondering if this product had the ability to listed for file on remote server. I'm grabbing new files and deleting them on remote server by windows task manager, Cron Job. I'm doing this every 5 minutes, an ASP fires and executes the aformentioned procedure. I was wondering if this product had the ability to listen for files in the remote folder then act when there is a file? If not any suggestion on using this product to not have to use Cron job type methods. Thanks

Havey,

nope, FTP/SFTP protocol doesn't have that option. You should reconnect at some intervals and check if there are new files.

Otherwise doesn't make sense anyway, and you couldn't do it from ASP. If connection is opened all the time from ASP, that means ASP page never is sent to the client in IE, so he never sees any response.

i notice that filzilla has the ability to listen to remote host and mirror files to local, any thought on using this monitoring tool to fire an ASP page. If you don't respond, I understand, as this topic really now has nothing to do with wodSFTP. Thanks

Hi Havey,


Maybe I have solution for you.
You can make VBS script and place it in Scheduled Tasks (in Windows Control Panel) and run VSB script every for example 5 minutes.

VBS script will connect to your server and download and delete files.

Here is example:
-------------------------------
Option Explicit
Dim objFTP, lst
Set objFTP = WScript.CreateObject( WeOnlyDo.wodSFTPCom.1 , wod_ )

objFTP.Hostname = your_server_name
objFTP.Login = your_login
objFTP.Password = your_password
objFTP.Blocking = 1
objFTP.Connect

objFtp.GetFiles c:weonlydo , /home/something/weonlydo
objFtp.DeleteFiles /home/something/weonlydo

objFTP.Disconnect

Sub wod_Disconnected()
WScript.Echo Done and Disconnected
End Sub
-------------------------------

More help how to configure Scheduled Tasks you can find here:

I make it run every five minutes and it works like a charm.


Hope this helps.


Regards,
Drazen

Thanks, one more thing, why do you have this:
, wod_ )

at the end of creating the object?

THanks again

It is something from WScript. It tells WScript that functions that start with wod_ are events.

We have recently completed a large 1200+ location project where reliable Telnet and SSH connectivity was required. wodSSH worked flawlessly and allowed our staff to complete our project ontime and within budget.

Thank you very much for the rapid responses. I was a little nervous about dealing with a company that is on a different continent from me. You have proven my concerns to be unfounded.
