Hi all. I have a secure IIS server that I also use as a FTP server on a network that is relatively secure and not connected to the world in any way.

My question is, is it possible to execute arbitrary commands from a FTP session connected to this server? I have a shell script that puts some files onto the server and then theres some other stuff I want to do in the same ftp client session before closing. I also have an AS400 and from an FTP session I can use quote to send commands to that systems command interpretter...ie..."quote ping somebox" so thats were I developed what might be a lame brained way of doing this. I know there are likely other ways outside of an FTP session to do it, but I would like to use FTP. Is that possible in some way with the Windows ftp server service?

-thanks in advance!
