I am using the built in ftp command in Windows XP to connect to a Unix
Server
ih the same network subnet.

When I start ftp and the ip address of the server it asks me for a user
name
and password which I type in and it works fine.

I am trying to write a series of commands into a batch file and I would
like
to include the user name and password within the batch file so that the
user
is not prompted for them.

Is there a way to do this.

Your help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Guido


You could use this batch file:
@echo off
set site=ftp.xxx.com
set account=guido
set password=SomePassword
set script="%temp%\script.scr"

echo> %script% %account%
echo>>%script% %password%
echo>>%script% binary
echo>>%script% get SomeFile.doc
echo>>%script% quit
ftp -s:%Script% %site%
del %script%
