Hi,
Anyone have an FTP script that will poll a directory for a given file. For
example, a process on a remote machine puts a file into a directory. Another
machine (via FTP) will poll a directory for the expected file. Once the file
is available, the FTP script gets it and removes it.
Searches for 'FTP poll script' yield polls (as in do you favor George Bush),
not polling (as in check for the file every 30 seconds).
Mirror scripts are not useful in this case - the file is used to transfer
process state across two machines.
I appreciate any links or script examples.
Jeff
