WS_FTP Pro - Send Unique Option for a Scheduled Job
Hello,
I am using WS_FTP Pro to download .jpg files and would like WS_FTP Pro to provide a unique name each time it downloads the .jpg files rather than overwriting them. I'm able to do this if I manually download the files and use the Send Unique Option. I would like to schedule a job to do this task at regular intervals. The Send Unique Option doesn't work when the job is scheduled and the .jpg files get overwritten each time.
Does anyone know how to get this to work with the the Scheduler in WS_FTP Pro or know of another FTP client that I can use to accomplish this?
Thank you.

Are you downloading one file with a specific name over and over like an image from a camera or are you downloading a set of files (*.jpg) where some might be new and some might not on any given run?
ASKER
We are downloading several files with a specific name over and over. They are traffic camera images and there are not any new filenames in each run.
Do you download more than once per minute?
ASKER
No, the images are downloaded every 20 minutes.
