texte = This may be slightly off-topic, but I'm using TCPCONNECT/SEND to do this:I would like to be able to FTP into an FTP site and change some file names. if I just had to change one specific file name (or two, or three, etc) this would be a piece of cake. However, I don't know the names of the files. All I know is that they end in .ord (I'd like to change the end to .done). I have two plans to do thisPLAN A: Employ some sort of wild card command.If this were UNIX, I would just say mv *.ord *.done. However, I can't find any sort of wildcard for FTP commands.PLAN B: GET THE FILE LISTIf no wildcard exists, I'd like to be able to retrieve the file list and parse out any files that contain .ord At that point, I would pass them into a [TEXT] variable and [LOOP] through some FTP commands to rename each file. I know that the FTP command to get a directory listing is LIST, but it doesn't seem to work.Does anyone have FTP command experience that could help me? i've looked all over the web and can't find anything useful.Thanks, Michael------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
