I have a need to list directories on an SFTP connection. I have a legacy system where remote clients upload files, and I need to download them. The remote clients upload into randomly named directories and the way they indicate that a transfer has completed successfully is by creating an empty subdirectory named #DONE#.

Currently the only way I can think of to handle this with Visualcron is to do a recursive download (which will mirror empty directories) and then operate on the local files, or write some custom code. Is there anything I'm missing?

So basically you need a "List folders" action in the FTP Task that has a "Remote folder filter"?

Yes. I have an alternative approach that will work, but I still think that would be a good feature to have. I would have posted this to Feature Requests except I wanted to make sure there wasn't an applicable existing feature I'd overlooked first.
