shell.run is not running

[tadams19]

I am trying to run an ftp from a VBscript. The syntax I create can run as a .bat file or straight from a command line but not the way it is coded. What is wrong?

As coded:
Set objShell = CreateObject( "wScript.Shell" )

objShell.Run "ftp -vn -s:" & strFTPScriptFileName & " " & strFTPServerName & " >k:\week\prevc405_ftp.log", 0, True

With variables resolved:
objshell.Run "ftp -vn -s:k:\week\FTP_MF_FTP.txt xxxxprod.dmno.com >krevc405_ftp.log", 0, True

TIA

I do not know the specific answer. From previous dealings with the .run command, I remember that sometimes there needed to be double quotes in some cases.

The best troubleshooting step you could try might be to set the line you are trying to run to a variable and then verify what exactly is being passed to the .run command.

Good luck.

Does it just 'not run', or do you get an error that could help us diagnose your problem?

Just taking a quick look at this, you seem to be trying to ask cmd.exe to do output redirection (using [tt]>somefilename[/tt]) but you aren't running cmd.exe in the first place.
