tguy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 How about calling sleep.exe or wait.exe and set to 10 minutes or 600 seconds?eg: call sleep.exe 600Then use an error return code to check to see if ftp was successful or not and if not use kill.exe or pskill.exe to terminate the ftp process.eg: ErrorreturnJust some thoughts.You could also use vbScript to do everything you need plus the steps I mentioned above without having to call separate executables.

With this you will not have to put the sleep.exe or wait.exe on your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
