Re: Automating an upload of data

Hi Adrian,

You can easily write a script (well, it needs 2 actually) to interrogate the
ftp folder, and upload the file to your local computer, and then run the
routine on it.

The first script fires an ftp session, the second script does the upload.

Once created, set a Scheduled Task to call it as often as you require.

I do this every night and then process the data locally with VB, but the app
can be of your choosing.

Hi,

I need to regularly check an FTP folder for the presence of a file, and if
found, run a routine.

Given that this is all on our ISP's servers, what is the best way to
automate such a routine in ASP.NET?

The end target of the routine is likely to be a MySQL database. If we were
using SQL Server, I assume I could use DTS to trigger the process, but I'm
fairly ignorant of MySQL.

Thanks!
