Re: [foxboro] FTP

Pedro,

If you want, you can pull the file from the NT side.  We do that with the 
ftp -s and -n options.  By using -n you can put the username and password 
responses in the command file specified by the -s option.  You can schedule 
the command to run with the AT command.  The help for both the FTP and AT 
commands are here below.

C:\VP>help at
The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at
a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use
the AT command.

AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]]
AT [\\computername] time [/INTERACTIVE]
     [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"

\\computername     Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the
                    local computer if this parameter is omitted.
id                 Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled
                    command.
/delete            Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the
                    scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.
/yes               Used with cancel all jobs command when no further
                    confirmation is desired.
time               Specifies the time when command is to run.
/interactive       Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user
                    who is logged on at the time the job runs.
/every:date[,...]  Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or
                    month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month
                    is assumed.
/next:date[,...]   Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the
                    day (for example, next Thursday).  If date is omitted, the
                    current day of the month is assumed.
"command"          Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.


C:\VP>ftp -help

Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.

FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g] [-s:filename] [-a] [-w:windowsize] [host]

   -v             Suppresses display of remote server responses.
   -n             Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
   -i             Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
                  transfers.
   -d             Enables debugging.
   -g             Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
   -s:filename    Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the
                  commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
   -a             Use any local interface when binding data connection.
   -w:buffersize  Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
   host           Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote
                  host to connect to.

Hope that helps.
