Hi,

I'm trying to export some csv files from an ftp server to NetSuite. The server directory has many files which are already imported to NetSuite. I need to export only the newly created files. Can anyone help me with this?

The short answer is that there is no simple way to accomplish this, and this is def a good enhancement request to support our delta flow concept for file transfers too. I will pass this along to the product management team.

Here is 1 workaround that might help.

Instead of having all the new and existing files together in 1 folder on the ftp server, would it be possible to have all new files uploaded into a separate folder first on the ftp server, and then the flow could export files from this folder, and then there is a setting in the Advanced section to backup files (see pic below), and then you can set the backup folder to the main folder where all the other files are, etc...

@scotthenderson

Thanks You so much for your reply. I will go ahead with this idea of new folder for new files.
