I've been having some problems with this little code two major issues. What I'm tring to do is get Photos off an FTP site: I have a text file with about 4000 lines and on each line is an eight digit number "30635325". I take all of the is an put it into an array. Then I have to change the info to 30635325_0.jpg because on the FTP site that's how each one of the Photos are saved. I'm getting weird output here the "." is not working example of the output "_0.jp 78". Next assuming it works. I connect to the FTP site and get a list of what they have. The fun thing is that the FTP site has most of the photos I need but they are separated in to different folders, so the file I need is "30635325_0.jpg" is located in first folder "30" second folder "635" then the file is "325_0.jpg". I have written the code to do this but it take a long time and I wanted to know if this is the best way to do it. If any one could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.
