ftp library

Hi all!
There are VBScript calls to HTTP/XML librares by using
Set xml = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
Are there any out there to use as a full FTP client?
thanks,
josé

The following script and embedded function will run from WSH to return and display the specified file; you can convert it to an ASP or IE hosted file by using response.write/document.write instead of wscript.echo.
sXMLData = GetXML("ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/readme.txt","","")
wscript.echo sXMLData
Function GetXML(sURL,sUsr,sPasswd)
' Create an xmlhttp object:
Dim oXML
Set oXML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
' Opens the connection to the remote server.
' rtn = xml.Open((B))
oXML.open "GET",sURL, false,sUsr,sPasswd
' Actually Sends the request and returns the data:
oXML.send
Do:wscript.sleep 10:Loop While oXml.ReadyState<>4
GetXML = oXML.responseText
End Function

I'm not familiar with the details - I don't use the FTP client that much - but there are several examples in the microsoft.public.scripting.wsh and microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript groups in google. You might want to use this as a starting point (I kid you not - this comes up over there at least once a week).
To do a quick browse and see what people have done, go to
http://groups.google.com
and plug in this search:
ftp group:microsoft.public.scripting.*
You will get a LOT of hits.
In case this is the approach you want to take but it is less than obvious how to do some particular things, go ahead and take an initial look for something that *looks* like what you want to do and then do a followup to the "mainline" scripting groups - everyone seems to gravitate to microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript these days... :-)

Thanks Alex. The idea is to fully have the ftp libraries so
that I can do ftp commands while logged on an ftp server.
For example: here are the steps that I would like to do:
ftp host.company.com
name user
pass password
dir [do something with the output of dir]
mput file1 fil2 file3 file4 fileN
quit
plus others, but this basic example, will help me greatly.
thanks,
josé
