I've generated an ftp script but I don't know how to pass it parms. I have scheduled a script to run daily to retreive files from ftp site which are a derivitive of the date. I can create the daily filenames with WSH but have not been successful in calling the ftpscript file with parms. Any help! I'll admit I'm not good with ftp.

You can dynamically create the script and put variables in it and execute it. Here is what I do in unix:

#!/bin/ksh
#
# Script to use FTP using a file created dynamically.
# 3/15/01 Grant_howell
#
# Get the password and plug it in PWD.
PWD=`cat $HOME/passwd/ams_system`

# Create the file to receive commands for FTP.
echo "Begin FTP Script..."
echo "open cronus" > ftptmp.scr
echo "user oracle $AMS_PWD" >> ftptmp.scr
echo "ascii" >> ftptmp.scr
echo "cd scripts" >> ftptmp.scr
echo "lcd ams" >> ftptmp
echo "mget *" >> ftptmp.scr
echo "cdup" >> ftptmp.scr
echo "close" >> ftptmp.scr

ftp -inv < ftptmp.scr
echo "END FTP Script..."
rm ftptmp.scr

Here is a DOS version (you can modify it to use %1, %2...):

echo off
echo open anteros > ftptmp.scr
echo user oratest %1 >> ftptmp.scr
echo binary >> ftptmp.scr
echo cd /ora/u1/test/testappl/ap/11.5.0/reports/US >> ftptmp.scr
echo put APXPBFEG.rdf >> ftptmp.scr
echo bye >> ftptmp.scr

echo on
ftp -inv < ftptmp.scr
del ftptmp.scr

echo END FTP Script...
