Hi,

Anyone can help me on how to pass the current using ftp. The file I have on my Unix OS to get the file YYYMMDD.txt. Everyday will get the current file using the said format.

Here is my batch file ;

REM ftpconnect.bat
ftp -i -s:c:\putfilehere\ftpconnect.prg server1

REM ftpconnect.prg
myuser
mypassword
bin
hash
prompt
cd /getfilehere
get YYYYMMDD.txt
bye


Thanks in Advance,
Ferdie

Can i run an ftp server off of ubuntu linux or do i have to have an os specifically for servers? I want to set up an ftp server that can be accessed across the internet and im running ubuntu 11.04. Do i need to partition my hard drive and install a server os on it to set up an ftp server?
