Status: offline 		Hiya,
I was wondering, my knowledge with vbscript is not too good and as of current I'm trying to create a script that when run automaticaly downloads all files in the root of the ftp location just to the root of my c drive - have done some digging around and come up with this script which works fine.....

set ftp = CreateObject("ChilkatFtp2.ChilkatFtp2")
ftp.UnlockComponent "any string begins the 30-day trial"
ftp.Username = "username"
ftp.Password = "pswd"
ftp.Hostname = "ftp.my.site."
ok = ftp.Connect()
if (ok <> 1) then
   MsgBox ftp.LastErrorText
end if
' Download all files in the current remote FTP directory
' matching a pattern to a local directory.
localDir = "c:\"
remotePattern = "*.*"
numDownloaded = ftp.MGetFiles(remotePattern, localDir)

Only thing is, this script uses the 'Chilkat' activeX component to retrieve the files (I think I got that right!) and I wanted to know if windows (microsoft) has it's own so I needn't install any other third party software - if so how the hell would I modify this script ?!?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Status: offline 		OK then thank you
How would you create this other script, some examples would be fantastic!

I will have a look now for some examples myself as I'm not really a great programmer and am still learning myself so struggling

Would it mean I could still use the one I have but with a few modifications? If so do I need to change the first line only?

Status: offline 		An FTP script is simply a list of FTP commands one after the other.  For example.

Open myhost.com
mylogin
mypassword
lcd c:\temp
CD \etc
binary
mput *.gz
y
Close
Quit

That script connects to myhost.com with the login mylogin and password mypassword.  It then changes directory on the local machine to C:\temp, changes directory on the remote machine to \etc and then transfers all files with .gz extension from the local machine to the remote machine.

To execute that in a vbscript simply save it a file with the extension SCR (e.g. ftp.scr) and run it via the shell method.  Like so

Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WShell.Run "ftp -s:c:\temp\ftp.scr",0

Status: offline 		that's fantastic, thank you very much, do both files need to be in the same directory or can you have them aprt and point to the location of scr file from the vbscript?
