gretings gurus

i'll try to explain my problem.

SITUATION 1: send a local file to server

'CMD /C START ftp -v -n -s:"c:\temp\in_out_ftp.txt" '

in_out_ftp.txt:
open sv_ip
user user1 pass1
ASCII
lcd c:\temp
cd server dir
put file
bye

now this works fine.

SITUATION 2: get a local file from server

'CMD /C START ftp -v -n -s:"c:\temp\in_out_ftp.txt" '

in_out_ftp.txt:
open sv_ip
user user1 pass1
ASCII
lcd c:\temp
cd server dir
get file
bye

this leaves open the FTP window. without doing the tranfer.

SITUATION 3: get a local file from server without the start command

'CMD /C ftp -v -n -s:"c:\temp\in_out_ftp.txt" '

in_out_ftp.txt:
open sv_ip
user user1 pass1
ASCII
lcd c:\temp
cd server dir
get file
bye


this leaves open the CMD window. without doing the tranfer.


i need to know if this is possible so i dont waste more time.
