_LANGUAGE_ example demonstrating how to get the number of files in a directory not including sub-directories. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    outFile.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' The ListPattern property is our directory listing filter.
' The default value is "*", which includes everything.

' Fetch the current remote directory contents by
' calling GetDirCount
