Download

This script downloads all files from a remote folder and moves them to a remote archive folder only if the download was successful.

The following command line syntax may be used to launch Robo-FTP and automatically execute this script:

robo-ftp.exe -s"download_and_archive.s"

You can also add the -v option to the command line to hide the Robo-FTP window.
