Hi, I have a bunch of task that upload files via SFTP from our network to our web server. Is there a way to check if a file exists in the network directory before connecting to the SFTP server.

I am looking for something like a task level condition or even better if the SFTP upload task only connected if there was a file on the network to be transferred.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to use a file event trigger.

Yes, please check the video tutorial for File Triggers.

Thanks.

It is easier for admin to keep all the copy tasks within a single Job so seperating each task to it's own job to use a file trigger will not be great. Also I have had trouble with file triggers missing files when network connections are lost or when machines are restarted (this is not VisualCron specific concern)
