I need to come up with a batch file that will execute commands to connect
and login to an ftp server, retreive a file, modify the file and put it back
on the ftp server. The command to connect to the ftp server, pass a user id
and password seem to be straight forward enough; it's the ftp command
execution after the ftp shell runs that I'm not sure of. Any ideas?

Thanks, Mike Lawson
