I would be interested in some examples if you don't mind
Thanks!
Although I can't get 'em to buy the full version of WS-FTP, I've used the Lite version (which doesn't have command-line capability). I'd recommend the full version based on my experience with the little'un - it's a good program for not much $$.
I use batch files to run the MS ftp utility (comes with Windows). Command-line info is in the Help files. I can send you some examples if that would help.

John,
I use WS-FTP Pro (on a Win 2K server), which has a pretty straightforward scriping language and an operating system command line interface. Witango can even write the scripts to a file, then execute the script with an external command line command. It's very inexpensive, and was a quick product to learn. Another advantage is that it can create SSL certificates. If the remote site also uses FTP with SSL, your transmissions are encrypted.
I have an application that retrieves new orders every morning with this method.

The COM would have to log in, check if the file exists, and transfer it. On the Witango side I would create the file name, execute the COM, then open and work with the file (XML in this case). > >Does anyone know of company that sells a component like that? Or, is there another way to do it?
