ftp scripting
Paul Schaaf
To get through our firewall using ftp, I need to use commands of the
following form:
D:\users\pschaaf>ftp
ftp> open abcd 12345 xyzzy
[...junk...]
User (none): anon...@ftp.microsoft.com
[...junk...]
Password: [paul....@amd.com]
[...junk...]
ftp>
The details have been changed to protect the innocent (me!).
Is there a way I can automate this? I want to call a batch file, like
"ftpext ftp.microsoft.com", and have it take me to the final ftp
prompt. I tried using batch file keyboard buffer stuffers, but they
just wait until ftp terminates before dumping their contents. If I
use the NT command-line "ftp -s:filespec", ftp is exited at the end of
the script.
Any assistance is appreciated.
