Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. I have set up Filezilla FTP here and like to schedule it so that it would run automatically at the set time.

I know how to schedule it using the windows schedule task however, i got trouble here because since it needs to know the address, username, password, and the port. i was hoping if anyone might be able to help me with the VB script that can fill in those fields.

Thank you in advance
 
Can you start the program using switches that will fill this in? Is there a way in this program to set it up in the configuration so it automaticlly logs in?

If not you will have to use a full fleged programming language and use Windows API's to search for the window find the text boxes and fill them in with the right information.

Or you could use macro recording programs to get the same effect then run the macro everyday at whatever time you need have the macro start the program so it can find the window.

Either way it will be easist to use switches or a macro recording program.

To see if the program has the ability for switches try opening a command prompt

Start > Run > cmd
go to the directory where the program is located and type this
filename.exe /?
or
filename.exe -?
