help with batch file

[le1234]

i would like to create a batch file that connects to an ftp area and picks up a txt file and places in a directory specifed on the C drive....anyone help with the code required... I have made a start but all it does is load ftp via cmd prompt. Any help would be really appreciated - I need to know how I tell it where to put the file it is picking up!


ftp ftpservername
user
password
cd /test
get module.txt
bye

You'll need to place all your FTP commands in a separate file, and then have the batch file call it:

ftp -i -s:path\to\command\file.ftp

OPEN ftpservername
user
password
get filename destination\filename
quit

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

just remember that this is a plain text file and your user name and password will not be encrypted.

no worries I found what I was looking for:
-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file transfers.
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
