Re: Automate a task for an FTP Site

Is there a script that can do the following?

* I have a folder on my computer with X amount of XML files
* I need to create one folder on the FTP site for each one of the XML
files (the name of the folder will be the same name of the XML file,
less the .xml extension)

Obviously I don't want to manually create each folder. Since the files
are on my computer already, is there a script that can do it
automatically?

I have never used native FTP in VBS; this tip by Jerold Schulman
<http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=8297> might get go started.

On the other hand, the CLI I use (4NT) provides transparent FTP support
and I use that quite a lot. Skeleton:

FOR %fn IN (*.XML) MD "ftp://server/%@NAME[%fn]";

Couldn't be simpler. 4NT's FTP (and HTTP) support is documented at
<http://jpsoft.com/help/ftpservers.htm>. 4NT is a commercial product.
