How can i create a new file based on the listing of an ftp directory

[Legacy User]

I am trying to list the contents of an ftp directory and create a new file on a shared location.

• FTP List
• Store the listing in a file on a shared location (\\shareddrive\listing.txt)

This is in Automic 2013.

One simple method would be with 2 Jobs, the first one does the listing and writes the result in a VARA object (or stores a Process Handle.
The second one reads the VARA (or Process Handle) and writes the file on your OS.
