Thanks
Yes...someone else also mentioned that. I now have a batch file that will work in terms of opening the application that runs the file, and the specific file. Now trying to figure out how the heck to close the application after it has opened. FWIW, I am trying to automatically do a little maintenance on the file after it has been downloaded by wsftp.

You will need to fire the whole process via a batch file which after the transfer fires the executable. There is a really wonderful book called Windows NT Shell Scripting by Tim Hill that will show you how to create incredibly elegant batch files and scripts..... I had not worked with batch files since the old DOS 2.0 days and had forgotten how much power is there

Thanks, I figured that part out, but it does not execute after the download is complete, which is what I really need to have happen.

I am currently using the scheduler with some success. One caveat that I discovered is that the scheduler in WinNT4.0 does not work correctly and there is no apparent workaround (I spend $250 to have Microsoft tell me that one !!!)
 
At any rate in WSFTP Pro you can click on Tools/Scheduler/New and setup a transfer.  What actually happens is that WSFTP acts as a front end for the Microsoft Scheduler service and it works fine. If on Win2K or XP using NTFS be sure that you specify a valid domain/user account for permission or the transfer will fail.

Hello:
 
I am new to Wsftp. In looking it over, I am trying to figure out how I can schedule a file to be transferred and then have it open automatically, the way the Execute command works.
 
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it?
 
Any help would be much appreciated.
