HI methyl,

Really thanks for your reply.

To be honest, I am new to ftp command. I was asked to perform this task by "chance"....

Well, the situation is that I want to schedule a job from my Window server to ftp download a latest file from a directory in a linux server. A 'new' file is generated weekly in that directory. So, I want to white a script to get it weekly.

I know there are some previous posts talking about similar things. However, I am not an IT guy. I feel helpless to understand those.

Please kindly advice me what to do...

Regards,
Kelvin
