Hello:

Sorry for this non-database post but does anyone know of a command-line ftp 
utility that supports passive mode and can automatically run a text file 
(containing FTP commands) after it starts up?

There is an FTP commandline client (ftp.exe) that ships with Windows but it 
does not support passive mode (however, it can automatically run the text 
file after startup via the -s option though).

Thanks a million in advance,

Billy

PS: If you are are interested, some command line FTP links of interest are:

1) describes the windows ftp.exe (including the -s option)

2) indicates that windows ftp.exe does not support passive mode
