xcopy ftp
in [VbScript]

From: James on 2 Feb 2009 14:19 This might be a dumb question but, I can't find a simple answer anywhere. Is there a way via a bat or cmd (even vbs) to: 1) auto logon to a FTP server 2) do an "xcopy" from a ftp server to one directory on the local drive 3) auto logoff and close the ftp session I don't need the folders. I just need all of the files that are in separate folders to be placed in one folder locally. Finally, is there a way to skip files that are already on local drive so they do not get re-written? Thanks in advance, James

Thanks in advance, James ================ Here is a batch file that will download multiple files: @echo off set script="%temp%\Script.scr" set site=ftp.mysite.com set user=JoeDoe set password=johnny echo> %Script% %user% echo>> %Script% %password% echo>> %Script% cd test echo>> %Script% binary echo>> %Script% prompt off echo>> %Script% mget *.* echo>> %Script% quit ftp -s:%Script% %site% del %Script% The version of ftp.exe that comes with Windows is quite limited. If you need something a little fancier then perhaps wget.exe (http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin.html) is your tool. Its -nc (no_clobber) switch prevents pre-existing files from getting downloaded again.

From: Todd Vargo on 4 Feb 2009 23:28 OP included "(even vbs)", so it would be appropriate to provide a vbs equivalent solution along with your topicality redirection.

From: Al Dunbar on 4 Feb 2009 23:52 That makes three of us that failed to provide the OP a vbs solution, so I'm not sure of the reason for your complaint. When I replied I had already seen that Pegasus had provided the batch solution that the OP was primarily interested in. On balance I feel that our combined response has been basically constructive - unless, of course, you feel that we should be giving batch advice here. If there is a perception that providing a vbscript solution is a prerequisite for providing navigational advice, then perhaps we should consider "vbscrpt" as a generic term meaning "whatever scripting methodology you can't find a newsgroup for... /Al "Todd Vargo" <tlvargo(a)sbcglobal.netz> wrote in message news:u4aSBp0hJHA.2384(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
