Delete local files if files dont exist on remote FTP server

#1 Post by mkoz28 » 19 Dec 2013 10:06

Hi,

I is it possible using the script below to delete the local files if they no longer exist on the remote directory? Currently this downloads all new files but wont delete files that no longer exist on the ftp server?

Code: Select all

@Echo Off

REM -- Define File Filter, i.e. files with extension .txt
set FindStrArgs=/x "..*\...*"
REM -- Extract Ftp Script to create List of Files
Set "FtpCommand=ls"
Call:extractFileSection "[Ftp Script 1]" "-">"%temp%\%~n0.ftp"
Rem Notepad "%temp%\%~n0.ftp"

REM -- Execute Ftp Script, collect File Names
Set "FileList="
For /F "Delims=" %%A In ('"Ftp -v -i -s:"%temp%\%~n0.ftp"|Findstr %FindStrArgs%"') Do (
    Call Set "FileList=%%FileList%% "%%A""
)

REM -- Extract Ftp Script to download files that don't exist in local folder
Set "FtpCommand=mget"
For %%A In (%FileList%) Do If Not Exist "%%~A" Call Set "FtpCommand=%%FtpCommand%% "%%~A""
Call:extractFileSection "[Ftp Script 1]" "-">"%temp%\%~n0.ftp"
Rem Notepad "%temp%\%~n0.ftp"

For %%A In (%FtpCommand%) Do Echo.%%A

REM -- Execute Ftp Script, download files
ftp -i -s:"%temp%\%~n0.ftp"
Del "%temp%\%~n0.ftp"

GOTO:EOF


:extractFileSection StartMark EndMark FileName -- extract a section of file that is defined by a start and end mark
::                  -- [IN]     StartMark - start mark, use '...:S' mark to allow variable substitution
::                  -- [IN,OPT] EndMark   - optional end mark, default is first empty line
