I have to download a file from an FTP server every day but sometimes there is no new file so I should make an exception to check the existence of a new file if it is not found I have to restart the process until it exists
please can anyone help?
Hello @Imene_ZARAI
You can use the File exist activity to check the file available in a specific location.
Use Flow decision and pass the variable from the File exist activity.
If the file not exists, it results in a false and connects the loop to File Exist.
If the file exists, it results true and the process will continue.

thank you but how can I check if there is a new file or not because every day i have to download just the new file ?
@Imene_ZARAI
Pass the file name with path which is needed to check in the File Exist activity.
the name changes every day I guess there is a script in which I will put a condition that tracks the date of the file and if it’s the same date as today then I will download it
but i don’t know the script to do it 
do you have any idea about how many files will download in a day?

this is the name format of every file
try this in File Exist
“Yourpath\TUNI_”+DateTime.Now.ToString(“yyyy-MM-dd”)+“.txt”
Note:Change .txt with your file extension
Your path should placed in before the filename
