Automagic Forum

I need help in downloading the content of a whole FTP server to make a kind of a backup.

When I use "FTP file download", Automagic just downloads the top level files of a chosen directory in somewhat like a bootloop (status bar displays the same files again and again until I manually stop the flow).

How can I achieve to download the complete FTP file structure?

Hi,

I'm not sure how well this will perform since the FTP actions were mainly designed to download a few files or a folder but not the entire contents of a server. Especially since it will download the same unmodified files again and again.
The download should work by setting the 'Paths on Server' to /folder/*
Also try to use Menu->Manage->Preferences->Workarounds->FTP List Files Compatibility if the action fail or loop endlessly. Contact me at info@automagic4android.com if this option should not help.

Consider to use an app like Folder Sync to keep a copy on your device and to avoid downloading unmodified files again and again:
