I am using send event to connect through ftp (command prompt) navigate to a directory, and then copy an image down. Here is my event.

@ECHO

> script.ftp ECHO USER CSRi01r readonly

>>script.ftp ECHO cd export/L000/x2400/602421_09192005_090421_00/

>>script.ftp ECHO binary

>>script.ftp ECHO lcd C:wpc

>>script.ftp ECHO get Dsc00050.jpg

>>script.ftp ECHO quit

FTP -n -s:script.ftp" &  $$IP & 

"TYPE NUL >script.ftp

DEL script.ftp

exit



GOTO End





:End

It keeps telling me application @ECHO cannot be found.  So I figure that thats the problem, I add this to the top of it

command

@ECHO

Then it runs, but i think it hangs up on the command code, and doesn't get to the rest of them.

Anyone know of anything I'm doing wrong, or even better, an easier way to do this without buying a plug in?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm not sure I follow. That's the whole send event string you send out? That string is stored in a field and you reference it in the Send Event script step?

put your script into a batch file, and reference

a file instead of text in "send event" options:

Send Event ["aevt"; "odoc"; "yourbat.bat"]

i use this method to retrieve and import csv's from our ftp server through a command prompt in xp.
