I have a batch file the initiates a ftp download process. The client wants this batch file to be run by the user from the website. Is there any way to do this?

hi

this code would work from local placed html file,
but i'm not shure it would from web..

<script>
wshl = new ActiveXObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
wshl.run(&quot;start d:\\tmp\\tmp.bat&quot
</script>

Thanks vituz,

But doesn't the command shell run on the web server that it is enstantiated on? I tried this and it worked when the IIS was on the same box that I was browsing from, but it did not work when I uploaded it to my ISP host. They do not allow the Command shell to be executed for obvious reasons.

Does this script your provided work locally on the client?

Will is work with Netscape?

Thanks again!
