Quick command line FTP question

[RadiclDreamer]

I'm on a windows box. I have a set of files I need to pull from a remote unix server. The files are all the same extension.

The problem is, I need to change the place where the downloaded files go. Right now in my command list from the batch file I have

open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
username
password
cd /home/sss1234
mget *.dlm
bye

This gets all of the DLM files and puts them in C:

I need them to go into a folder called C:\autoftp

Any idea how this is done?

use lcd to change the local directory:

open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
username
password
cd /home/sss1234
lcd c:\autoftp
mget *.dlm
bye

Tried that, it doesnt work either 🙁

It should. Although as a workaround you could wrap the ftp call in a batch file and change directory from there before calling ftp since it's defaults to the current directory.
