    I need a proggie that automatically syncs one remote FTP site folder, with a local folder. BatchFTP needs IE6, and so is out of the question.

    Any ideas?

    Hi,


    Well why not write a batch file to do it ,
    just put a call statement in for the ftp to connect and when the connect returns you can do a copy all statement (mget / mput) .

    just type ftp in a command line, then type help to get help with the correct syntax

    also you can whack this batch file into AT (scheduled tasks) and hey presto it;s all done autmatically ,

    for extra preformance call the batch file ioweFionnapint.bat (this will unlock at least 12inches of memory for ya !! ) heh just kidding ,

    but the batch file should work no bother , hope this helps with what your trying to do ,

    Take it easy

    I was half way through a batch file, but this will need to run with no user intervention. Anyone know the syntax for sending a username and password in command line FTP, with prompt?

    hey ,

    you just need to tell FTP you want it to runt he batch file as a script (it's teh -s option) or you can send it in the ftp connect statment , it's up to you

    but for more info look at
