Re: [WS_FTP Forum] Scheduler

[Claude Edwards]

Here is one approach.   Write a batch file that uses WS_FTP in command line mode to transfer your file, and then execute it. Schedule the batch file using the "at" command or the Windows Scheduler.   e.g. This 2-line batch file (excluding comments) downloads a file then executes it.  (the first line is really long)   ; download the file ; ---------------- "C:\program files\WS_FTP Pro\wsftppro" -s webs:/users/rglade/fileprop.exe -d local:c:\download\fileprop.exe   ; execute the file ; ---------------- c:\download\fileprop     This assumes you have a site named "webs". Caveats.  WS_FTP must NOT be running when the batch file executes.  If WS_FTP is not running, then the batch file will start WS_FTP and wait on it to exit.  If WS_FTP is already running, the command will be handed over to the already running process, and the batch file will continue on immediately.   --Claude   ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 3:44 PM Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Scheduler 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.   Steve G
