  • Automated FTP

    From Tiny@21:1/700 to All on Saturday, October 05, 2024 08:11:23
    Hi All,

    I am trying to automate my QWK packet download. I installed
    ncftp and while it appears to connect fine, it always times out
    when Synchronet is building the qwk packet.

    ie:
    ncftpget.exe -d -umyusername -pmypassword bbs.pharcyde.org c:\dos\dloads\ pharcyde.qwk
    It correctly logs in etc.

    Is there a better way to do it? Or another program?

    Thanks,

    Shawn

    When I was doing that, I used curl.

    SIgh, of course. Thanks man, I forgot all about curl being
    able to do FTP.
