Getting a file list of all converted files to update ftp servers list

[DrMax]

Hi All,
I have managed to generate a blank txt file when I first convert files to OGG format, but am unable to get the files I have converted to list in there.
Also, once converted the files upload to my FTP, but my text file does not.
Any ideas?

The aim is to maintain a converted files list on my server for access by multiple users.

Loving the software

Regards
Max

Hi Max, thank you for using FFAStrans and welcome to the forum!

Let me see if I understand you correct:
You want to populate ONE file (files.txt) with all your converted files, maybe something like this:

P:\Fulcro\User folders\Max Mallia-Parfitt\360 Video Processing\OGG for FulMax\files.txt
My converted file 1.ogg
My converted file 2.ogg
My converted file 3.ogg
....

And then upload the updated text file (files.txt) once a new file has been converted. Is this correct?

Dear Steipal,
That is correct - this file will keep a list of all files converted to date and be added to every time more media is converted.
This will allow a database to look at the file to maintain a list of current media available for use by our team.
I look forward to your reply.

In the current version, the best way would be to echo variables into your text file using the "Command executor"-node with the following setting:

%comspec% /c "echo %s_original_name% >> "P:\Fulcro\User folders\Max Mallia-Parfitt\360 Video Processing\OGG for FulMax\files.txt""

PS: Make sure the text file exists before echoing.


Then download cURL and use it to upload the file with a new "Command executor"-node:

%comspec% /c "C:\curl.exe -T "P:\Fulcro\User folders\Max Mallia-Parfitt\360 Video Processing\OGG for FulMax\files.txt" ftp://<username>:<password>@<ftp.myserver>/<my>/<folders>/"

Now your workflow should look something like: Folder monitor->Encoder->Command executor->Command executor...

The next version will have new options in the "Generate text file"-node to append text to existing file and set text file to source for subsequent nodes. This will enable direct FTP uploading using the "FTP"-delivery node.
