Hi guys,

Has anyone got info on implementing automated FTP scripts? Environment is NT I'm afraid...

Cheers,
Al.

Do a search on this board, someone already asked the exact same question.

Hmm, soz didn't see it.

I got some more info, if anyone's interested in automating something from command line here ya go:

FTP script: it's basically just a list of commands passed with the -s:file.scr option to ftp.exe (.com?):

PutRPC.scr

open &lt;machine&gt;
&lt;username_here&gt;
&lt;password_here&gt;

quote site charset(english)

bell on
hash on
status

quote cwd 'PSD.DUB.AMD.IND.OBJECT'

binary

put rpcsrv.out RPCSRVD

bye

That's called in the batch file which builds it.....

date /t
time /t

rem BUILD:

call makeclean.bat
nmake -a -f makefile &gt; bin\compile.log
call compile1.bat
nmake -a -f makefile.link &gt; bin\link.log

rem UPLOAD:

cd bin
ftp -s :putrpc.scr

And for bonus points, you can automated the whole thing with "at":

at 04:00 /every:2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30 "build.bat"

That does a compile, link and upload at 4am every even-numbered day... have fun...

Regards,
Alastair.

And that lets you autobuild a cross-compiled file for the mainframe ... how exactly?

Muppet!
