FTP script
 
I have been trying to run a ftp btach script in windows
I am using the following synthax

Code:
open ftp.myserver.com
myUserName
MyPassword
cd public_html
dir
lcd desktop
get file.php
bye
but I always get a Authentication failed error, can anyone tell me the reason for this ?
The same password and username are working fine If a use a FTP client.
Thanks

This should help a bit as the Windows implementation of wget can use FTP just like the Linux one:

Did you try it? It should work exactly as you need.

Basically I want to know if there is any problem with the command syntax that I am using ?
as according to this http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=96269 MS article the script should work flawlessly

Ok - I just realized what you were doing, and you're missing only one line. The proper script should be:
Code:
open ftp.myserver.com
user
myUserName
MyPassword
cd public_html
dir
lcd desktop
get file.php
bye
Note the missing 'user' line - that must be there.

I had tried it with the user line , it does not make any difference .

( Basically you need the 'user ' part if you have automatic login disabled at he remote host )
