OS command before msg processing: In sender FTP

[Former Member]

hi all,

i have a file-to-file scenario.Now i have to pick the latest file from FTP folder based on timestamp.All the files are named in yyyymmdd format .I came to know that i can run an OS command before message processing to delete the old files and keep the latest file in the folder.

But i do know know how to write the script for this particular requirement.Can anybody please help me out with the code???

regards,

Nisheeta

HI,

If you want to delete filenames from Adapter use the following sample code:

File adapter OS Command: D://server_dir//subdir//myCMDfile.bat %F

Batch file:

del %1 new_filename_with_path

OR

Please see the below links

Hope this solves your problem.

If you need or want to execute specific OS command via FTP you can use this guide:

But the support of OS command depends from with FTP server you are connecting to.
