Macro to transfer files via FTP

christos · Nov 28, 2005#12005-11-28T20:02+00:00

Is there any macro command that enables to download an ascii file from FTP without need to open it first. Until now I have create a macro that opens the FTP, opens a specific ascii file and select 'Save As..' in order to save the file in my location.
Any idea?

hmmm, sounds like just a normal transfer. Why do you need UE therefor ?
Take the next lines as an example for batch-transfer:

make an ftp-config-file "letsGo.ftp" like this.
replace my.... with your settings:

Code: Select all

open myremotehost
myuser
mypassword
ascii
cd mydirectoryRemote
lcd mydirectoryLocal
get myFileName
get myAnotherFileName
bye

then call it from DOS prompt:
ftp -s:letsGo.ftp

All Win-XP. NO GUARANTEE !
