FTP Commands

[pocketroxetz]

Hello. I am trying to make a .com file that transfers a file from a remote computer to my local one using FTP commands on DOS. My program runs, but it is not getting the file. Can anyone provide some help? Thanks in advance! Here is the code:

ftp
open
its.calpoly.edu
username
password
cd folder_1
ascii
lcd C:\"Documents and Settings\me\My Documents"
get prog.rec
quit

Try putting the first quote before C, not after \.

You have to do ftp -f filenameofftpscript (at least, that is how we do it)

2 scipts basicly

Thanks for the help! I did need to create 2 files: .bat and .scr. It's working now.

as an fyi, expect is a better scripting language for this kind of stuff (at least in windows, where you'r shell is a bit gimpy)
