Need Plug-ins for Unstuffing MLS files

Featured Replies

I'm working on a site for realator using MLS files.

Basically, what I need to be able to is use the Events 4.0 plug-in to schedule a download from a password-protected FTP site, unstuff the files (.txt.gz and .tar formats), then upload the unstuffed files to my client's site, then import the data and munge it into the FMP database. I already have and am familiar with the Troi plug-ins.

What I need is a plug-in to handle the unstuffing of the files and the password-protected FTP site.

Can someone point me in the right direction(s)?

Jim

BTW - I'm on 8.5 Advanced, not Dev 7 as it says to the left (I don't know how to update that info)

I believe you can do all of that without any plugins (in fact, without even launching Filemaker) with AppleScript. You can schedule the script in iCal, and have it launch Filemaker and call the importing script after all the preparatory stuff is done.
