Author FTP File

Files placed onto an 3rd party's ftp site every day. The name of the file
made up of the date the data is for. E.g. PRICES_2006_APR_01.XML

How can we change the ftp file mask so that we pick up the next appropriate
file?

Thanks

The Ftp adapter configuration can be manipulated using WMI.
Although you do not need to change the file mask.
Each day the FTP adapter will get the file and delete it.
The next day only the new file will be present.

Thanks. The 3rd party publishes prices for many people. Is there anyway we
can just read the file?

Not with the standard Biztalk Ftp adapter - if it cannot delete the file it
will fail and not deliver the message.
You can write your own Ftp adapter.
You could also look at an adapter I wrote last year, which could save you
some time.
You will just need to write a .Net class to retrieve the file - all the
adapter stuff and scheduling are taken care of .
