How can I read a zipped CSV file from a FTP site, extract it and save it. Nothing I have tried seems to work. Has anyone done it successfully? Would need to do it on the both FME server and desktop. I would be thankful for any input.

Hi Jan,

 

 

this way works for reading a zipped shape file from an ftp server:

 

 

 

 

Have you tried the same thing for your csv file?

 

 

Should be the same for both FME Desktop and Server.

If you mean read the CSV with FME, what David says is valid for FME 2013, if not I think you'd need some Python and David is probably the right guy here too! ;-)

Does the ftp have open access or does it need user/password to logon? If so I think you'll have to put the credentials in the ftp url.

Thanks for the hints. Yes I have FME 2013. Can it be this easy? I'll try it out.
