   if you use the -s switch (in Windows anyway, not sure of other os's) followed by a : and a filename (with path) the batch will look in that file for the login information. the first line needs to be the user name, the second line is the password, subsequent lines can contain any ftp commands to be executed.
   hope this helps

   You should create two files: one ir an executable file the other is data file.
   Let's cal them http://ftp.bat anf ftp (no extention)
   http://ftp.bat will comntain:
   ftp -s:ftp
   ftp will contain:
   open http://ftp.planet.com
   user (put ur login username)
   password (put ur login password)
   ls
   mget *.txt
   lcd c:\temp
   quit
   Good luck

   I usually write one .bat file that will create the command file then run the ftp using the commands in the file. Here's an example.
   Replace anything within ~'s with your own information.
   Hope this helps.
   Echo ~UsrName~> ftpcmd.txt
   echo ~myPass~>> ftpcmd.txt
   echo binary>> ftpcmd.txt
   echo prompt n>>ftpcmd.txt
   echo mget *.exe>> ftpcmd.txt
   echo bye >> ftpcmd.txt
   ftp -s:ftpcmd.txt ~ftpAddress~
   del ftpcmd.txt

   I hope that someone can help me. I am new to writing batch files and I am not quite sure how to write the following code. Any help would be appreciated. I would like a batch file to connect to a server using ftp, then write a list of filenames from the ftp folder into a text file. The text file can either be written locally or in the ftp folder itself as long as I can get access to it. Please can someone help.
