Here's the issue: The FTP GET command works differently in winXP than it does
in win2k. When you try to get a file in the remote location, and the file
doesn't exist then win2k will just give a error message stating that the
system cannot find the file specified. This is the problem; if you do the
same thing in winXP then along with the error message stating system cannot
find the file, it also creates an empty file in the name of the file you were
attempting to get. This completely ruins any attempt to verify if the file
really existed or not, especially when using VBS scripts. My company uses a
lot scripts with ftp, and we would like to upgrade to XP on the pc that runs
the scripts, but we are at hold still because of this issue. Does anyone
have a good soluation for this problem? All I want is for ftp to work the
same way on winXP as it does on win2k. Please help, I'm out of ideas here.
