Automatically download from FTP server

[Merlin2004]

Exist any way how to download in TC automatically file from FTP to PC?

Do you mean just to type (or paste from clipboard) the name of the file (of course full name with the server name ), press ok and simply download it to the disk (closing automatically the connection later)? Of course it would be the best to do it in background.

No, I've not found any solution to do it. It always connects to the server and than I have to copy the file manually and close the connection.

I hoped that I can create any script using cm_ftpaddtolist and cm_ftpdownloadlist commands but unfortunately I can't find any way to pass the name of the file which I want to add to the list (eg. from clipboard) to the cm_ftpaddtolist command

I think it would be nice to add such a possibility in future versions of TC.
Christian, do you think it's possible?

I mean run some script that will automatically log on ftp server and download backup (or any file) to my pc. The scheduling feature will be really cool.

Unfortunately there is no scheduling option in TC.
You can do it manually by creating a file with the list of files to download, then copy it (eg. in batch) as the ftp downloading list and run the "FTP download from list" option periodically.

Could you kindly describe how to create "file with the list...".

The easiest way is to go to your ftp, select the files you want to download, use the context menu and choose "Add to download list" and that's all. Then you need to rename it eg. template.txt cause after sucessful download TC changes the ftplist.txt file.

Realy it is easy. I have one more question, if possible to run ftp download from list as butch. I mean click for exampl on icon that wil run TC and download from file automatically.

Yes, you must create a button and assign a command "cm_ftpdownloadlist" to it.

In TC's menu, click Configuration - Button Bar...
Click Append and a new empty button is created. As Command choose cm_ftpdownloadfromlist (it's about in 2/3 of the list, under FTP). Choose an icon and a description and click ok. The button should appear in the Button Bar, just below TC's menu.

- Choose option from menu "Configuration -> Button Bar"
- Press "Append', a new button will appear (you can change the order of buttons if you want).
- In Command field type (or choose from the list): cm_ftpdownloadlist
- Choose any icon (if no icons appear type eg.: wcmicons.dll and choose the icon)
- Type whatever you want in Tooltip filed.

That's all.

This is misunderstanding I do not mean icon in TC but on desktop.

I don't think it's possible to do it this way
