Basically, we need to connect to servers via DUN and others through the internet. How can this be accomplished using scripts ?
I have written a script to connect to an internal ftp server. Works great on our LAN BUT, some of our clients require that we connect to their ftp server via dial-up networking. They don't want file transfer over the internet. I read chapter 3 on connections and have looked at the settings. When you open up WS_FTP Pro\options\program options\internet connections you have a choice of either a LAN connection OR dialup connection. Additionally, I contacted IPSWITCH tech support. They said currently an option to script the data connection is not built-in to the product. It is currently on a "wish-list" for future upgrades. ------------- Basically I have three scenario's. In all cases I would like to launch a script to automate the download process. First approach is simple. In a script use the CONNECT statement to connect to the ftp server via a LAN connection. This script works great. Second approach...NOT so simple. We have clients that require that we dial into them to become part of their network. The IP address for their ftp server might be something like 172.16.0.25 .The connecting part uses a Dial-up Networking profile. Once connected, I'll make the assumption that the CONNECT statement allows me to connect to a non-public non-routable IP. HOW Do I get the WS_FTP script to open up a DUN connection to a specific client profile before trying to connect to the internal IP ?? Third approach...even more confusing. The same as scenario two with one exception. The FTP server on the client network uses a public routable IP, even though I have connected to their network via DUN. HOW would I dictate the flow of data to be sent via DUN and not the LAN ? How do I script firing up a DUN session and ensure the ftp session is using this connection ?
