auto ftp download

[pork1977]

Hiya,

I was wondering, my knowledge with vbscript is not too good and as of current I'm trying to create a script that when run automaticaly downloads all files in the root of the ftp location just to the root of my c drive - have done some digging around and come up with this script which works fine.....

set ftp = CreateObject("ChilkatFtp2.ChilkatFtp2")
ftp.UnlockComponent "any string begins the 30-day trial"

ftp.Username = "username"
ftp.Password = "pswd"
ftp.Hostname = "ftp.my.site."

ok = ftp.Connect()
if (ok <> 1) then
MsgBox ftp.LastErrorText
end if

' Download all files in the current remote FTP directory
' matching a pattern to a local directory.
localDir = "c:\"
remotePattern = "*.*"
numDownloaded = ftp.MGetFiles(remotePattern, localDir)


Only thing is, this script uses the 'Chilkat' activeX component to retrieve the files (I think I got that right!) and I wanted to know if windows (microsoft) has it's own so I needn't install any other third party software - if so how the hell would I modify this script ?!?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

In a console window type ftp -?
You may create on the fly a ftp script with the FileSystemObject and launch the program with the WshShell.Run method.

Hope This Helps, PH.
