Need help with ftp script

I'm trying to create a WinXP ftp script and I'm having a hard time even figuring out the
syntax.

I have an XML file on one of my websites, let's call it sourceweb.com (publicly
available) that I want to copy to a directory on another of my websites, let's call it
destinationweb.com, so that it overwrites the existing file.

I'd like the script to include the destination's ftp user name & prompt me for the
password.

Can anyone please show me how to do this?

Thanks!!!

Wow - THANKS!



What if my destination server has FTPS? How would that change your script?

Sorry, I've never played with ftps. You will have to work out the
differences and adjust the code accordingly. Since it is highly modular,
this should be a trivial matter.
