Hi Leon,

Try this command to change default script engine to cscript from wscript

cscript //H:Cscript //nonlogo //s

Hi

I'm running ftp "run command" every 2 minute(scheduler) to lookup new
files and download them.

It's a two step action - first buliding thel scriptfile that takes down
a filelist.
Iterating through this I find out if a new file is on the list.

Building a new scriptfile from this list with "get" command on new
files.

That works perfect .. exept for "some times" where no answer is comming
from the FTP site.
If I just waits for the answer I dont' get it and everything "hangs"
for days.

The task is scheduled by windows scheduler every 2 minute.
It is stopped if it still runs after 1 minute (because FTP not
responding some times)
This trick works for "terminating" the hanging ftp proces and normally
I'm lucky with my connection 2 minutes after again! so the problem is
not the LAN connection to the internet.

I did first run with option waitforresult=TRUE
(wshell.run "ftp -i -s:"&file_script, 0, False) and was waiting for
days some times. When "restarting" the scheduler everything ran under 3
seconds - perfect - it hangs and I don't know why.

Stop (scheduler) after 1 minutes helps me - but - Is there a "prefered"
- -"right" way to do thid task?

I'm very interested in a sample

I can give you a copy of my script for you to scan...

Cheers
