November 23, 2009 - A New Version of WinTask - 3.7

The good folks at TaskWare have released a new version of the favorite tool in my toolbox - WinTask.
 
There are two major new features in this release.

WinTask 3.7 supports Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.

 

And WinTask 3.7 includes the following FTP functions:

• #FTPTimeout - Specifies the number of seconds which WinTask should wait before reporting a runtime error when it tries to execute a FTP function
• FTPChDir - Specifies the new FTP current folder
• FTPConnect - Makes a connection to the specified FTP server
• FTPCurrentDir - Returns the FTP current folder
• FTPDisconnect - Terminates the connection to a FTP server
• FTPExistDir - Checks if the specified FTP folder exists or not
• FTPExistFile - Checks if the specified FTP file exists or not
• FTPGetFile - Downloads one or several files to the local PC from the FTP server
• FTPKill - Deletes one or several files from the FTP server
• FTPMkDir - Creates a folder on the FTP server
• FTPName - Renames one or several files in the FTP server
• FTPPutFile - Uploads one or several files from the local PC to a FTP folder
• FTPRmDir - Deletes a folder and its contents on the FTP server

I'm particularly pleased with the new FTP functions.  Our systems use FTP a lot - these new features will make it much easier to set up test conditions, and verify output.
