Hi John,

Use the -s switch with Windows' built-in ftp command.  Here is a couple of 
lines from my "daily" script, which runs on Windows:

    IF NOT %newup% == %oldup% (
      MKDIR c:\temp\upgrade.tmp
      ftp -s:"c:\utils\scripts\getUpg.ftp"

The file "c:\utils\scripts\getUpg.ftp" contains:

    open virusupdates.hq.moen.com             
    anonymous
    OK.get.upgrade
    prompt
    bin
    lcd c:/temp/upgrade.tmp
    cd /pub/VirusScan/AutoUpgrade
    mget *
    close
    quit
