The file paths you need to download are stored in a list. 1. Get the line count from the list. 2. If the list isn't empty, download the file from the FTP server. 3. Then delete the line that contains the path of the already downloaded file. 4. Return to the start of the loop (step 1). 5. When there are no lines left in the list, show a notification saying all files are downloaded.
