Joe,

You need to create a file that has your ftp related commands, and specify this file when you run the ftp program, like so:

ftp -s:FTPCmds.txt

where FTPCmds.txt is a file with all of your ftp commands in it.  It could look something like this:

open hostname
FTPUSER/password.ACCT,GROUP
prompt
binary
mget *
bye

Hello members,

I have to ftp a file from a win2000 ftp server to  another 2000 server. From
the command prompt this works very well. Is there a way to automate the ftp
session using the statements I enter in the command prompt window in a .bat
or .cmd file or a scripting language is the only way?
I created a .cmd file with my statements but each time I run it, it executes
the open statement and prompts for the user-id and password (even though I
supply these in the .cmd file as I would do with ftp.arpa.sys)
I would appreciate an example if .bat or .cmd option is possible.

Thanks in advance.

Joe
