Schedule FTP Upload in Windows Server 2003

[konopj]

I need to set up a scheduled FTP upload in windows 2003. I would like to stay away from a script so the rest of the staff can support easily. I was hoping that I could use the FTP sites option in 2k3 thri IIS. But have not found anything like that...Any suggestions?

IIS lets you host an FTP server. To schedule an ftp upload just make a batch file that does the uploading, and schedule it using the Windows Scheduler.

Thanks mrdenny, If a script is the only way to do it w/o 3rd party software, what is the simplest format...Would this be as cut and dry as you can get?

ftp -s:test.scr 11.11.11.11

user
guest
guest
put file1
quit

Yeah, that should pretty much do the trick.
