schedule command and a little scripting

Can't do it on a FTP program and linear FTP will make the file jacked.

Solution:

cron job on Linux executes a script on Linux that uses http to get the file from script on Win, but checking the file for acsii to reformat for linux ascii file

In all, two scripts and one cron.

It actually is very much possible...

First, create a new text file with the following contents:

Code:

open ftp.yourdomain.com
yourusername
yourpassword
cd /public_html/
binary
prompt n
mput c:\lists\online814.txt
quit

Replace your username, password, domain and file path. And if you're uploading an ascii file, replace binary with "ascii". Save the file wherever you want using whatever filename you want, but for the sake of simplicity i'll just pretend you saved to c:\ftp.txt

Now, open up a administrative command prompt and run the following command:

Code:

schtasks /create /tn "FTP Backup" /tr "ftp -s:c:\ftp.txt" /sc MINUTE /mo 60

replace "c:\ftp.txt" with the path to wherever you saved the file and runthe command.

If all goes well, you should see a message saying "SUCCESS: The scheduled task "FTP Backup" has successfully been created."

Funny thing, I didn't see you offer to do it for less.

WS-FTP has a scheduler feature that will do that.
