Many thanks Gert.  Will try down that route

Hello Ger,

As you can see the error is "you have exceeded your concurrent session limit". This is not a message from WatchFTP itself, the task is just reporting to you what the FTP server is saying when WF tried to connect.

You probably need to contact the admin of your FTP server, he can increase the session limit or help troubleshoot the issue.

Hi
I hope you are well.
My watch FTP is running all the time but one of the task stopped around running 16:00 when I was not at the PC.  I tried to restart the task but it just will not start.  I have rebooted the PC several times and reloaded the WatchFTP without any change in the situation.  See screenshot of the history of the problem.  Does anybody have any ideas how to get the task to work?
Many thanks
Regards
Ger

I think you have it setup correctly like that.

I think I figured this out.  Instead of listing the folders I want downloaded on the Filter Directories tab, I put them on the Filter Downloads tab and checked the Match filters against the Full FTP Path box.  This seems to have worked.  Let me know if there is a better way or if there is anything I need to be aware of.  Thanks.

I forgot to mention, I don't have anything in the Filter Downloads tab and on the Filter Directories tab, I don't have anything in the DO NOT DOWNLOAD box.  Thanks.

I hope you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.  I'm connecting to an SFTP server and I want to download all files in just certain folders.  So on the FTP Server Settings tab, I put / for the FTP Directory and checked Also scan subdirectories.  I had this set up for just one folder, /rptsched and it worked.  There are two folders under /rptsched, TEST and LIVE and it was finding and downloading files in the LIVE folder.  Then I added more folders to check, but it is still only finding the files in the rptsched folders.  On the Filter Directories tab, I have the following:
/rptsched/
/bar/test/claims/
/bar/live/claims/
/mm/test/850/
/mm/live/850/

There currently is a file in /bar/live/claims/inst, but it is not being downloaded.  What am I missing?  Thanks.

I think you will see this issue if you do not properly use a repeat-block in your message body. See https://www.watchftp.com/wfhelp/send_email_en.html

Also make sure to use %WF_FILE_N% in UPPERCASE.

If this does not help, please copy/paste the message body you use.
