Automated FTP run by HS

[Richard]

I have w2k and want to get a script that will ftp files from PC to webserver and have HS handle the scheduling.

Can someone get me started with a command line (best way ??) that HS can execute.

Maybe O/S command line is not the best ...searching HS archives ....ftp from a script ??

Thanks in advance

There are a couple of scripts in the archive you might look for. Here's the example in the HS help -

Example:



sub main()



dim s

dim host

dim user

dim password

dim command

dim rfile

dim lfile

dim path



host = "homeseer.com"

user = "anonymous"

password = "user@company.com"

command = "get"

rfile = "remote_test.htm"

lfile = "c:\remote_test.htm"

path = "pub"

' get the file

s = hs.ftp(host,user,password,command,path,lfile,rfile)



end sub

You can also script the FTP client that's built into Win2K using the command line "ftp -s:filename"

The file should contain a list of FTP commands you want to execute in order (including the username and password). Something like this:

open ftp.somehost.com
username
password
cd dirname
hash
put file.html
binary
ren file.gif old.gif
put file.gif
delete old.gif
bye
