Simple FTP script (W2K - W2K)

[DaveNeubauer]

I've always avoided ftp servers like the plague, but now need to do Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2000 Server ftp across my WAN. I'm thinking I can keep that secure.

Anyway, I've been trying to create a simple script that will login with an authenticated user and copy files up to a central file repository. I've tried different approaches, like ftp -s:script.scr 10.10.10.12, but I always get hung up on the syntax for the username and password. I've tried them both on one line; each on a separate line; /user username /pass password; ...

I know this is real simple stuff, and it's a little embarrasing to ask...but can someone give me a clue or a resource to read?

TIA

Try

user

password

with a empty line between the two. Works for me here. Nate Gagne

Thanks, the blank line did it.
