no, is win98.

where do I look up on the script in w2k ?

It is not so much a script as a file of ftp commands.

Just checked on Win98.

The command line parameters "-i" and "-s:filename" are what you want.
You can then create a script - something like this

open host
user uname
pass password
get xxx
put yyy
close
quit

Just see what commands you need to type when using the ftp client, put them in
a file and use "-i" to turn off the prompting/interactiveness and specify
the file using "-s:filename"

e.g.

ftp -i -s:fpt1.txt
