Hi,

I have made the following script:

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "c:\windows\system32\ftp.exe -s:ftpget.txt", , TrueSet
Set objShell = Nothing

the ftpget.txt is as follows:

open 10.86.0.71
admin
admin
hash
bin
cd /u/smp_db
get dba.cdr
bye

I would like to encrypt the password so that no one can make use of it. Could anyone tell me how to do it in a simple manner?

Thanks in Advance,
Roser72
 
I think you out of luck - at least for now. Encryption is not built into ftp.exe so this can't be done. You would need a more robust ftp client that supports encryption.
