Does FTP File Exist?

Post by jleask »

How can I check to see if an FTP file exists or not?  I see the FileExists command, but can you use it to look for an FTP file?
The problem is I am using the script to download yesterdays file, by date, but if the file does not exist the script is breaking instead of moving on.  Any suggestions welcome :)
Thank you

See example below. You can specify any file mask you want to find in FTP File Loop action.
Save text of task to file and use menu Task | Import to import into RoboTask
