Bailey Kessing Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Does anyone know of a way to get a list of the files server by a server from within FileMaker database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 If the files are open on that guest, then the DatabaseNames function will give a return delimited list of the files. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 If you're asking to get a list of *all* the files currently hosted by a FileMaker Server then there are a couple of options but none of them trivial. You can use a remote command line to exeucte 'fmsadmin list files' on the FMS machine Or with FMS10 you can set up a script sequence schedule to run a batch file (shell script on OSX) to use that command and have it output to a file in the FMS documents folder, the 2nd part of the script sequence would then import that text file into a FM table.

Bailey Kessing Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Thanks. I will have to give it a try. I am converting to 10 now and will see if I can get it to work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
