Batch file to ftp to UNIX

[AMSTech]

Can anyone explain how I can run a batch file to get a file from a unix box using ftp.

You would need something like this:

ftp
open unix.box.com
username
password
cd /folderyouneed
lcd c:\localdirectory
bin
hash
get filename.ext
quit

Thanks, That was exactly what I was looking for, worked perfectly.

The Batch file works when done manually from a command promt. I tried adding it to the scheduler but it never runs. Is there something that needs to be done in XP to make a dos batch job run in the sheduler?

 

[FaiTHLeSS]

There shouldnt be anything else you need todo, it should run with scheduler without any problems, does it say its failing to run at all in schulded tasks?

 

[AMSTech]

Nothing, no messages or error listings that I can find.

Does the account you used have enough access to write to the local of the file and enough access to beable to run?

That did it, I did not have the password right. Thanks for all the help.
