Hi

You have at least 3 possiblities:

1) Start a Bat/Cmd-File with Shell-Command
2)Use WindowsScriptingHost as Automation Variable
3) There are shareware tools that can map ftp locations to a virtual drive letter. This way you just use a copy command to the virtual drive.

Hope this helps.

Ok , i will follow the second street.
What's a free automation that can i use?

It's listed as "Windows Script Host Object Model" in the automation variable window.

FTP is unfortunately not avaliable as dll.
I'm using ncFTP (free, but you have to install it on server or client; MS ftp.exe has some issues on win2008)

CREATE(WScript) ;
WinSty := 1 ;
waitRet := 1 ;
Parameters :=  '"C:\Program Files\NcFTP\ncftpget.exe" ' +
      '-C -u anonymous -p unknown@whatever.com ' + URL + ' ' + ENVIRON('temp')+'\'+FileName ;
RunStat := WScript.Run(PArameters,WinSty,waitRet) ;
IF FORMAT(RunStat) <> '0' THEN ERROR(Error connecting ftp server '+URL+' or accessing file '+FileName);

And variables...

Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
WScript	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell	
WinSty	Variant		
waitRet	Variant		
RunStat	Variant		
PArameters	Text		1024

Misseed that you need to uplead files. Then use ncftpput http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/doc/ncftpput.html
