It fetches File Name, File Path, File Size, File Type, Last Modified Date of each file and list it in the Excel. It also make a hyperlink for each of the files to open it directly from Excel by clicking on the link. The whole list can be sorted by File Name, File Size or Last Modified Date in both Ascending and Descending Order.

Hi Vishwamitra, I’ve been searching for a vba solution like this for ages and then you produce this fantastic piece of work, Thank you! I’m using Excel 2013 and I’m working on a very big project and this would be a great addition to it. Basically, in my vba project I want the end user to be able to select the folder/files in which they wish to import data and your File Manager would do the job. However; when I’ve run it, it’s not listing the.xlsx files within the selected folder. I know that the saved files are.xlsx as I’ve checked and checked and checked again but it just wont list them.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Regards, Pete. Hello Vishwa, The File manager file is very useful to get the required file property. I am not sure how good you are with VBA FTP programming part. I just wanted to know if it is possible to check the same file present on local server and FTP server and based on which result can get generated. Can VBA be program to check if file present on FTP is same as local server by File attribute comparison and based on which result is generated such as “Old File on server”,”New file on server”,”File Size is not same”,”File not present on FTP” and so on. Your help on this will be fruitful Cheers!
