This is possible using WSH (Windows Scripting Host) and its ability to run an external program. Go to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting

to find out how. If you still need help, just ask. You will need to install WSH 5.5 (may be up to 5.6 by now) before it will work.

if you are able to run perlscript... i would suggest that.

<%@Language=PerlScript%>
<%
use Net::FTP;

$ftp = Net::FTP->new(&quot;ftp.server.com&quot;
$ftp->login('anonymous');
$ftp->cwd('unf/thisthing');
$ftp->get('file.tar.gz');
$ftp->close;

%>

you can get info on Net::FTP module at cpan.org.
