Communication using FTP/FTPS
Posted: November 25th, 2018, 6:18 am
Hi Gregory & Josh,
I have applications that we needed to use FTPS by client requirement, from the field we didn't have any problem, I used the hash to verify if the files were sent before and avoid to transmit the files again. Now the situation is in the other side that I call Central Office. The FTP server has all the files, some of those were downloaded before in the Central Office, now new files are coming from the field, the problem is which files I need to download, bacause every day I will have more files. My solution was to have an external developed program in Java that created the file list with date and time and reading that file, I could recognize wich files I had to download.
I think we need an ftp function to have the list of files in the ftp server, so it is not necessary to call external non cspro programs to have it.
It there other way to manage this situation easier than I have implemented.
I was thinking to use csweb, however, the data has to be downloaded in different sites, means in each site have to download the field data.
Thanks
Mario
