I'm attempting to write a DOS batch file that will FTP to a server, log in,
change directories, and get a specific file.  I seem to remember having
done something similar a long time ago by issuing the command with it's
input redirected from a file.  When I run it, it doesn't fill in the
user-id and stops waiting on a password.  Here's what I've got.  What
doesn't look right?  Thanks.

Batch File:
cd \foldername
ftp servername < inputactions.txt


INPUTACTIONS.TXT:
anonymous

cd \serverfolder
get filename
quit
