Request for FTP scrips

[Ludo]

Hi, as I'm new to both HM and scripting, I'm in the position where I could use some help ...


What I want to do is test whether or not a file is on a remote system, using an FTP connection. I don't think HM can do that out-of-the-box, so I guess I need a bit of scripting - and I don't know how to ...

In "pseudo-code" it should probably look like :


do case
case Open_Ftp_Port() <> "OK"
exit("Error : No FTP port")
case Remote_Login() <> "OK"
exit("Error : Missing or Invalid account")
case Find_File() <> "OK"
exit("Error : File not found")
otherwise
Remote_Logoff()
exit("SUCCESS")
endcase


As I said, I'm new to it and would VERY MUCH appreciate a detailed reply.


Thanks,

Ludo

I think you don't need any script. Just use URL test

Is there anything the you can NOT do with this program ???

Thanks Alex, this works fine - it took me a while to realise that the filename should contain a full path. It does not seem to be enough to assume that the files is in the "default" directory.

Yes, you are right. It needs full path to the file.

Is there a way to read the banner of the FTP Server? Like "220 XXX Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0)"

You may use TCP test with "Alert when reply doesn't contain: 220 XXX Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0)" option
