What would be the best way of reading a file on an ftp site which name keeps changing every week. The beginning of the file name always stays the same. 

 

 

Is it possible to start a shell script from FME to firs download the data set?

Hi Jan,

 

 

How about using a wild card (*)? ftp://.../same_part*.ext

Thank you Takashi but the wildcard does not work as the ftp definition in the reader is a url.
