Is it possible to download (and upload) a complete folder (including all subfolders and files) from a FTP-server.
Page 1 / 1
The ability to download a folder of files from an FTP site is already logged with our developers as PR#69804. I'll add your details to this but I won't increase the priority since it's already flagged as intended for FME 2017.
The ability to upload a folder is filed as PR#59457. It's target is "future" meaning it's unlikely to be implemented any time soon. I'll add your details and increase the priority.

I'm building a workspace to download and process data which is uploaded to an FTP server on a nightly basis. Each night a CSV file with the date and time in the file name is placed on the FTP server.
Ideally, I would just specify the folder and *.csv to get whatever CSV files are there (I can delete the file from the server once it has been downloaded).
Failing that, I can generate the file name as a parameter apart from one thing: Although the time is the same each night, the seconds value in the time can vary. I can ask for seconds to be dropped from the file name but this may not be possible.
@stefanh - with help from the FME community, I've used the PythonCaller to achieve this:

The added bonus is that you can take the results of the directory listing and select which files to download e.g. *.csv

@Mark2AtSafe is this in FME 2017.0? It's not listed in the "Show changes" info when I go to upgrade the transformer.
Sorry, I just checked and it looks like that got bumped. The target is now 2018. Only thing I can suggest is to contact support (safe.com/support) mention the PR number and ask to increase the priority. That might get it into a 2017.x service pack release (though I can't really guarantee that would happen). Apologies again for that. Sometimes things get rescheduled if something else important crops up.

Has there been an update to this... I'm running 2017.1.1.1 is there a simple way to download all files from an ftp site?
