I believe that FTP is part of CUTCP (Clarkson University TCP
package. There is a way of doing scripts. I once spent a whole
evening searching for the documention. It's here somewhere
amongst a pile of diskettes. Write to me if you want me to hunt
for it.

I always like the one written by Erick Engelke (who actually
wrote the DOS WATTCP library, used by Arachne). He just released
a new build:
ftp://dark.uwaterloo.ca
Look for ftp.exe.
Other listers might like to know that Erick also released a dos
webserver. Find it at the same site.
