I have run into problem with batch file execution of FTP. Every now and then
the
ls something*.txt
gets hung. Consequently I wonder if I have better chance of IE as control
from vbscript

How do I find if a file of certain pattern exists from IE control? There
may be more than one that fit the pattern, or maybe nothing. If present, I
like to get the file name.

However, I don't have a clue in this, as I am not dealing with html but FTP
protocol from IE. I know how to make IE navigate to the desired directory
but I need help to list content of the desired ftp directory ain terms of
names, sizes, date time created if possible


Thank you very much for your time.
