In the VCron api, can you make direct calls to send SFTP directly through a memory stream and not require a task/job to be setup?

Thanks!

No, it is not possible right now. But it is relatively easy to set up that Task.

What about loading assemblies (dlls) and executing a method on a contract through reflection? (So we dont have to compile exe's)

That function is not existing in the API - rather in the VisualCron service. But it will not work because the service is not built for that - also we have no documentation regarding that.

What we can do is to move this topic to Feature requests and perhaps extend it more with what you want to do. Still, it is much easier just to create the Task. With the help of Variables you can make that Task dynamic as well.

Sorry for all the questions, but what about setting up tasks that make webservice calls by generating a proxy dynamically and allowing us to pass in parameters?

Not sure if your latest post is related to SFTP?

You want a Task that can call a web service with parameters?

Correct, ideally a wcf service, so that we can either kick off a process on another machine or test to make sure the wcf service is up and running.

We are working on a Task that can call a web service and another Task that can perform reflection on dll/exe,

Has this function been updated? We need to make API calls to create subfolders on an SFTP.

Right now you need to programattically create the Job and Task with SFTP and then run it.

Thanks. I downloaded the API reference which is in CHM file format, but I can't read the CHM file. Does anyone have the same problem? I found a utility to convert it to PDF and was able to view it in PDF but I think it didn't successfully converted all. I looked up FTPCreateFolderCommandClass and I can't find much content.

You open it with HTML help. There are some posts if you search on Google related to what it could be for your specific OS. For example Windows 7:
