Thanks for that note, Jeff. I try to avoid putting functionality right in BAT files, and prefer invoking TXT files or at least secondary BAT files when possible. The indirection often allows for some flexibility in re-use and moving things around. I recent deployed a BAT for Windows 2008 Server that does this without a problem, using WinSCP command-line to SFTP with Linux. Either security is more lax on that system, it's a 64bit issue, or maybe the issue is in Windows7 only. *sigh* On that topic of (S)FTP, personally I try to just use cURL rather than coding to platform-specific FTP utilities. Sure, there's the extra installation and infrequent updates, but that's trivial when the benefit is that my MV code now doesn't need to change depending on the OS. In the above case, WinSCP was already on the box and loading yet another tool seemed redundant. YMMV Finally, since we're here: >From Charlie Noah: > Totally OT, and I'm just musing here - Rocket, Raining Data then > TigerLogic. Does anyone besides me see a trend here? Uh, I don't get it. How are those related? What trend? T _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
