FTP to my site, then download a file?

[Don I]

Does anyone know of a way to write a batch file (or vbscript) that will
automatically ftp into an FTP account I have set up and download a file?

I'm trying to set up an off-site storage solution in which I'll back up my
pc's data files to an encrypted file (Steganos Safe) and put it in a
sub-folder that is available ONLY to my login account on my FTP site.

The next step would be to have my computer at work DL the file. That way if
there's ever a fire or at home, I won't lose all my data. This is the part
that I need help with.

Thanks.

Don

Hi

You can run ftp.exe from command line/batch/vbscript, using an input
file with the -s command line parameter:
