i need to pole the FTP location , and move the file to my Informatica location, unzip the file (8 files coming as zip rest of files are unzipped).
every 5 mins it will wakeup and check the file, everytime check in my informatica dir whether it reached the count of files like (assume i need to receive 15 files) so if its 15 then create a 0 byte file and stop polling.

and after putting remove special char from the files.

Thanks in advance

and can it be make dynamic , like take FTP loc, username, pswd, filename, and count of file, from some other table or file, and put the file from FTP loc to my folder and unzip the file. so in future if i need to add another FTP location for other files i make an entry in file/table and it will read it from there.

Thanks In advance

I don't understand much in ftp but i wanted to do something similar to that so i guess i can help.

Q:
from what you want to pull the ftp location?
what is the Informatica location ?
When it check the files , where is these files, in the ftp or in the "Informatica location" ?

can you describe more

1: I need to copy files from FTP location, we r pulling file thro BAtch script
2: informatica location dont matter as we r giving path,
2: it checks the file in informatica loc evrytime, whether reach the desired count or not, if not then again pole the ftp location after 5 mins.

Posted: **23 Nov 2012 12:50**

So, you want to :
1- input ftp location , username and password
2- the batch log in and download all file in that ftp location locally and unzip them then delete the zip files.
3- then count the files to see if they reached the total allowed files, if not keep looping and downloading files every 5 min till get them all, else exit.

Is that right ?

Posted: **23 Nov 2012 22:23**

Currently we have only 1ftp location.
But in future it will be 7-8, so i dont want to hard code.
I want to make it reusable for everybody, like it pick the ftp loc, username, pswd, tgt loc, and file coming frequency.

So it check in the table/ascii file, pick ftp loc, user name, pswd and other field,
And copy the file to desire location.
So any time if i need to add another ftp loc, so i just need to make an entry in file, it will pick all the things from it.

Thanks buddy, i m in deep trouble.

Posted: **24 Nov 2012 09:37**

will the content of the zipped files has the same name of the zip file it self ?
I need to know that so i can compare the already downloaded files and the files on the ftp location.

and if it is OK to unzip the files at the end, after the whole files reached the specified number that will be easier.

Posted: **24 Nov 2012 13:35**

For Now, This work for one FTP location and the settings is set inside the batch.
It can be easily modified to take input from user or a file that contain the inputs.
But for now till i finish and make it easy for me to test i'm using the setting inside the Batch.

However, when taking more than one FTP server the problem will happen when there is still missing files, it will keep looping on that server and the rest of the server will not be processed till that on complete it's files.
If it is ok to run a separate cmd window for all FTP servers that is missing files that will make things a bit easier but will make your desktop full of cmd windows

This is for downloading specific file types
Edited:
Added double qoutes arround the %~7 and %~6 in Code.bat

OK, here is the batch file(S):

is to make the batch file wait 300 sec "5 min" between every try till it reach the total number of files that should be in the local folder.

Edit:
Forgot to say, i'm using 7z to unzip the files and the file type i used is .7z

Posted: **26 Nov 2012 02:26**

when i am running the script, i am getting error" specified file can not found"

i have checked all the files in same folder, seems like its not going to code.bat, coz if it will go to code.bat then, i should get error, as i dont have permission to create any file in FTP location, and in the script its creating couple of files.

seems like its not finding the .txt file.

thanks in advance

Posted: **26 Nov 2012 02:42**

in the .txt file you are mentioning the file type, but dont need to mention the type, as some files are coming without extension and some are .zip.

so the count of files represent the count of all the files( without ext + zip)
and on that count it will check whether all the files are there or not.

Command1 and command 2.ftp should be create in the dir where scripts are, as i dont hv permission to create TP loc

thanks

Posted: **26 Nov 2012 03:38**

When you said unzip i supposedit will be all zipped files,
any way these files "zip + other files" are in one folder and there is no other folder with them?
because you can't download folders.

and about the missing file, i was having this problem but i fixed it, it was a missing ")".
I will check again

i dont hv permission to create TP loc

Do you mean you cant's create temporary folder in the same location of the batch?
if so, then can you create folders in the temp directory "%temp%"

Posted: **26 Nov 2012 04:01**

Posted: **26 Nov 2012 04:16**

Forget the above code cause it work for specific file types, i'm now changing the code to work generally for any file type.

but answer this quesion:
> Is There folders in the same location on the ftp server with the files that will be downloaded ?
> Do you have permission to create folders in the temp directory "%temp%" or "C:\DOCUME~1\admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\" ?
> Is the zipped files always have the .zip extension ?

Edited:
and about your errors:
> the special character in the password:
Only these special characters will need to be escaped so the batch can read them:
% sign : should add another % before it ---> %abc0502 become %%abc0502
^ sign : should add another ^ before it -----> ^abc0502 become ^^abc0502
& sign : should add ^ before it -------------> &abc0502 become ^&abc0502
whether these characters was at the beginning, at the middle or at the end, do the same as instructed above.

> A subdirectory or file 1 already exists.
it happen becasuse the batch should remove the temp folder after it complete, and it semes that the batch didn't the last time so it didn't remove it, i will do a fix for that in the new batch.

I'm almost done here.
