The way to do it is to put the ftp commands into a file -

batch file

Code: [Select]

ftp -n -s:Login.ftp

Login.ftp

Code: [Select]

open MyFTPSite
user MyUserName
MyPassword
bin
hash
prompt off
All these commands do is leave you at a command prompt to do what you want; you could of course script in any valid ftp command

Hi gpl,
I have tried with your code but got following error

C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXXXX>ftp -n -s:Login.ftp
Error opening script file Login.ftp.

Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.

The Login.ftp code was

open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(IP address)
user user123
Password123
bin
hash
prompt off

The Login.ftp file has to be in the same folder as the one where you call it or you can put the full path in

ftp -n -s:"c:\My FTP Files\Login.ftp"

  -i             Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
                 transfers.
