If you *have* to use MS FTP, the following info comes from their knowledge
base at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q96/2/69.ASP
BTW It works!
SUMMARY
FTP (file transfer protocol) is a file transfer utility commonly used with
UNIX systems.
FTP is capable of using scripts (lists of commands from external files). The
following example demonstrates a script that opens a connection to IP
address 11.11.11.11, logs onto the host as a guest with the password guest,
uploads the FILE1 file, and quits:
open 11.11.11.11
guest
guest
put file1
quit
MORE INFORMATION
You must use the -s option for FTP to read this file under Windows NT. If
the previous script was in a file called Test.scr, you could start the
script by typing:
ftp -s:test.scr
You can specify the host name in the command line and then use the script to
process the login. For example, if you use the following command line
ftp -s:test.scr 11.11.11.11
the script file should read as follows:
user guest guest
put file1
quit
However, If the ftp host implements automatic login, this command will not
work. You would turn off automatic login with a -n switch in the command
line. The command line would then read as follows:
ftp -n -s:test.scr 11.11.11.11

Subject: [SLUG] Basic ftp script question
Hello all
I want to create a basic ftp script to push /pull some website log files.
I need to get them both from windoze and linux machines on to a central
machine.
I was thinking to create a ftp script to transfer them but I don't know how
to supply the passord for basic ftp ? I can do it for ncftp using
the ftp://username:password@host syntax but I would prefer to use basic
ftp on windoze and push the logs to the other machine.
thanks in advance
Grant Street
