Hi,

I want to download hourly definitions from the Symantec ftp site using a
batch file they've supplied. The batch file fails and if at the command
prompt I type open ftp.symantec.com I just get an error: host is
unreachable. If I type the url in a browser it does list the contents. What
do I have to do to allow the server use ftp at a command prompt?

Thanksm
Steve
