  • Thread-topic: check a folder for folders and files

thanks Michelle, Wayne, Andrew, Adam, for your response, it seems that there are different options available... :)

maybe I own you a little more explanation.

What I want to do is:
1 - check a folder
2 - if there are folders in this folder get the name of the folder and compress it....
3 - if there are file in this folder do nothing.... (if there are file and folders in this folder, only compress the folders)

My (FTP) script is almost finished with adding this in the script I want to cover the option if people are
dropping folders in that folder.... because as far as I know FTP doesn't cover folders, right?

best regards,jan
