You can run an external command and do the FTP with it. The command line would look like:
FTP -sD
athScriptFile.ftp
…of course you change dath to your path.
Example contents of ScriptFile.ftp
open superserverusername
password
binary
cd ushare
lcd F:SuperServerDataFiles
put SuperTextFile.txt
quit Now if you are looking to run a FTP on a list of file names that would change, you could "Generate" the script for the FTP using ActiveX Scripting and the FileSystemObjects. I can load an example of this also. Hope this helps.
