Hi,
How can I download a folder (which contains subfolders and files) from a FTP site?
I was trying to use the following actions to accomplish this task, but failed.
- FTP List Directory
- List Iterator
- FTP Download file
Could you please show me the screenshots as to how I can do that?
Regards,
Sam

Hi Sam
The easiest way to recursively copy a directory structure from a FTP site to a local site would be to use the FTP Mirror action. Just set the remote directory you want to copy, set the local directory as the destination, set the mirror operation to Remote to Local and enable the recursive option.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve
