Hey,

does anyone know a workflow to check a link in glide if there is a file online or not?  
So I want to upload a video to an ftp and in glide I want to change the status, when the file is online.

Do you know a workflow for that?

Best  
Andi

I don’t know if this works, but there’s a new “Get Webpage Source” column. You might be able to determine from that column’s content if the file has finished uploading.

> The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard communication protocol used for the transfer of computer files from a server to a client on a computer network.
