Greetings~
I'm using WTX 8.1 and I have a fairly simple map that uses the FTP adapter in the primary source input card with a wild card (below) to scoop up various control files at timed intervals and then I need to route them based upon there original file names.

-ts -URL ftp://username:password@site.ftp.com//dir/subdir/*;type=A

I'm having trouble using the GETFILENAME, GETDIRECTORY and GETSOURCENAME functions when using the FTP adapter, each just returns my FTP argument (above). Does anybody have a suggestion on how to determine the file name of an input file when using the FTP adapter?

I think the best way to do this is to use the FTP adapter to get a list of remote files, and then iterate through each one, retrieving and processing it.

Sounds like a great idea, I have never used the FTP adapter to generate a file list, would generally (or detailed) the adapter string to do so?

something like GET("FTP","-URL FTP://username:password@server/subdir/*;type=d")

How about an example?

How to use these files should be obvious - come back if you've got any questions.
