XP command line FTP programme

Yes but the ftp programme hides in the windows directory and windows doesn't know where it is. The batch file is in a directory called test.

It's a problem that does occur with some XP installs. So any dos command I run from command prompt results in unknown command.

This probably happened after my problems with a Norton Antivirus uninstall and re-install.

So My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables.

Is the windows directory in the path?

Probably not but at this time I'm not bothered. I prefer to sort out this long lasting ftp problem first of all.

Problem is it isn't creating the error log.

Does it work if you output to the screen?

Can you paste the NT command script and the ftp command scripts in here (mind remove password, and any other details )

P.

If you read my next post I said I remember what caused it and set the path in the batch file.

I'll need to correct the missing variables later.

As it is the damn thing is working fine last time I looked. I wanted errors.

Well FTP from Dos has worked without any errors while going to plusnets servers.

If I use the Weather Station software to FTP to the University it works flawlessly but I use the same software too FTP to plusnet it fails either once ot twice a day causing me to reset the software.

Baffled as to why a Windows programme fails and a dos one works.

Any ideas????
