Hi,

I am looking for a FREE FTP scheduler, like WS-FTP version 12.

Anyone able to suggest one?

don't think there is one, we used ftp voyager for scheduled ftp over ssh but the effin thing keeps crashing

What direction are you sending data? If it is from client to ftp server, then I'm sure some backup programs offer scheduling AND let you use an ftp server as the destination.

Windows scheduler with an ftp batch file. Does the job.

Don't know how to write batch files - any tips?

DOS batch & scheduler is a good way to go, I had to do this in ~1999 (was scripting a nightly build: on Windows we did the initial cross-compile of some IBM 360 assembler, before uploading to the mainframe to run the linker). Don't think I have the script anymore

but Google is your friend for DOS batch help, here's some good places to start:

Edit: you'll probably get better answers on the Development forum.
