Re: BATCH ftp ?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ftp will always exit. What you can do is build the script on the fly,
with the filename you need in the text. This is a very common technique.

It may be possible to use FTP exit programs here. These will intercept
the commands. I don't remember, but I think you can redirect things
there.
