FTP Problem

[daint]

Hello,

My scenario, I am a user on a company network with only user privilages. I need to list the content (or just be able to view all) of a folder over ftp. When I use the DOS ftp prog, I can't view all the list due to it scrolling very quickly, and I can't use Internet Explorer as it seems to have different settings to access the ftp.

I was wondering whether there are any decent ftp clients out there that don't need installation (due to my access rights), and don't need java runtime.

I asked in the forum as it's a NT4 network, and I couldn't find a more appropriate forum.

Thanks

Daint

NT4 network - is it NT4 workstation? Or something more recent in an NT4 domain?

Obvious question - if you 'need' this functionality, why can't you ask for it to be installed?

I take it you can run any install programs? You can always Google for free ftp apps - and then see if any are just executables.

On the dos front (presume you mean command prompt) - have you tried increasing either/both the buffering/screen size (so the directory listing is actually saved in the command prompt box, and you can then scroll back through it. How many entries are we talking?)

It's an NT4 workstation, on some domain (could be NT4, 2000 or more modern). I shouldn't really have an ftp prog, although FTP access is used. It's usually used through one certain program that downloads the file we need (but long winded), thought I could make it easier to download certain files.

I've tried google (well yahoo) and got a couple, but for some reason they give me the same problem as IE, just can't find the IP address.

I did mean command prompt, I haven't tried increasing the buffer, I have the screen size, but I'll give that a try on Monday. There's probably about 1000ish entries, and I don't know the filename I'm looking for, so I can't use 'dir *' or anything like that.

Thanks for the reply
