Is anyone besides me surprised at the syntax of this "bat" file? ISTR "bat" scripts had to have the ">filename" or ">>filename" command output redirections placed AFTER the command whose output you wanted to capture. I.E., "ECHO prompt n >>script.ftp", not ">>script.ftp ECHO prompt n". Apparently M$ changed the rules when I wasn't looking any more. I tried this script (with appropriate changes) and it actually works, at least on my WinXP/SP2 system.
