we can use runique OPTION in ftp.

runique Toggle storing of files on the local system with unique
filenames. If a file already exists with a name equal to
the target local filename for a get or mget command, a .1 is
appended to the name. If the resulting name matches another
existing file, a .2 is appended to the original name. If
this process continues up to .99, an error message is
printed, and the transfer does not take place. ftp reports
the unique filename. Note that runique does not affect
local files generated from a shell command (see below). The
default value is off.

thanks a lot.

ftp> prompt

Interactive mode off.

This command is very much useful command to get the bulk load.

To turn the prompting on… use it again.

ftp> prompt
Interactive mode on.

I love you. I had to move over 5000 files and I was doing like Homer Simpson with the bird pressing the “Y” button automatically.

Thank you.

I found this article very helpful. I have one problem doing the “mget” and that is that the script goes to “disconnect” and “bye” before the ftp been completed. How do I handle this? Thank you.

objMyFile.WriteLine (”prompt”)
objMyFile.WriteLine (”mput ” & strFilePut)
objMyFile.WriteLine (”disconnect”)
objMyFile.WriteLine (”bye”)
objMyFile.Close

Set objFSO = Nothing
Set objMyFile = Nothing

‘Run ftp script
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( “WScript.Shell” )
objShell.Run (”ftp -s:” & chr(34) & strFTPScriptFileName & chr(34))
Set objShell = Nothing
