Hi
I have RoboTask 2.2 installed on a machine that is supposed to go to c:\ftproot (shared) on another computer with network adress 10.0.0.10, retrieve ANY .pps file there, copy it to c:\play (locally) and execute it... The ftproot folder just contains ONE .pps file at all times.
The other computer runs slimFTP, login and password currently unknown, but I am working on that
This have worked earlier but somehow RoboTask has "forgoten" this and I need to fix it. It was not me who set up the enviroment originally and I do not know how to use this software
Any peeps out the who are willing to give a helping hand?
Thx all!

Sorry, I don't understand something...
How you access to another computer: via FTP or LAN connection?

How is this possible? Anonymous login?

RoboTask access over LAN to another pc that runs a FTP server, collects the files it need and load them onto a viewscreen.

I understand so:
You want to collect all *.pps files from network folder and do something with each file.

If so, you can do the folleowing:

file loop on <network_folder>\*.pps
   ......
   do something
   ......
end loop

Network folder must be in UNC format (in order to avoid some troubles) like this:
\\my_server\shared_resource\
