GetFileList caching or delay

[maxwellk2]

I have a script that...

 

1) Gets a file list with FTPeek_GetFileList

 

2) Download the first file

 

3) Delete the file from the remote FTP directory

 

4) Repeats until the directory is empty

 

 

Every so often a recently deleted file shows up in the results of GetFileList.

 

Is it possible for GetFileList to receive a cached file list, or for the remote FTP server not able to keep up with directory file manipulations?

 

Thanks,

Max

Hi Max,

 

It's possible the command to delete the file isn't being sent or completed fully by the time the next FTPeek_GetFileList call is made. Can you try adding a pause step for some short amount of time in between each loop? That should be enough to determine if it's an overlapping of commands.

 

Let me know if this works for you!

Hi Joe,

 

Sorry, didn't get an alert you replied. I did in fact add a 10 second delay, which appeared to resolve it  until today. I'm going to bump the delay up to 15 seconds and see if that's enough to avoid the issue.

 

Much appreciated,

Max
