DeathKnight Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Try NcFTP windows version. You can find it here:http://www.ncftp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never run across anything that I couldn't do with it. You can even pass a script with commands to it for auto downloading stuff on a schedule.

Oleg_II Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) What exactly would you like to do with it? I've never run across anything that I couldn't do with it. You can even pass a script with commands to it for auto downloading stuff on a schedule.Just curious: is it possible to write a script that compares the folder on local computer with one on the host computer (ftp, including a few subfolders) and then delete the files that are not present or newer on local computer installing new versions on the host? In other words - synchronize two sites? Edited January 13, 2006 by Oleg_II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boggen Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 been awhile i do believe the pro version or site version of "bullet proof FTP" has a set of commands / scripting language for websites / ftp programs etc....windows has built in sync "keep local and website as single copy" * scratchs chin, *only used windows built in maybe once* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, below is the content of a cescript.txt that I use for SAV updates:open ftp.symantec.comanonymoussavce@update.comcd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus/staticlcd C:\Scripts\savcebinhashpromptget navup8.exequitThen you start the FTP with a -s command like so:ftp -s:cescript.txtWhat exactly would you like to do with it?

In other words - synchronize two sites?There are programs that are designed specifically for this. I believe FTP Voyager has a function for this...it's not CMD based though.
