README.TXT for FTPB utility.
Version 1.0 released November 12, 1996.

FTPB is a non-interactive utility which lets you automate ftp chores
by allowing you to call it from batch files.  FTPB is compiled for
32-bit Microsoft operating systems (Windows 95 and Windows NT, as of this writing) and will not run on 16-bit Microsoft operating systems such as MS-DOS and Windows 3.x.

Command line usage:

FTPB [get | put] server username password filename [/verbose]
or
FTPB /cmdfile=myscript.ftp [/verbose]

Note that if you're not passing FTPB a command file via the /cmdfile arg, all of the arguments are position dependent.  

The /verbose arg makes FTPB tell you what it's doing (the default is 'quiet' mode).

To get the most out of FTPB, create a command file telling FTPB what to do.  It works like this:

---------------------------------------------
	rem Sample MYCHORES.BAT file:
	rem Other processing...

	rem Now ftp the files to the server:
	ftpb /cmdfile=MYCHORES.FTP

	rem Other processing...
	rem End of sample batch file.

---------------------------------------------
! Sample MYCHORES.FTP command file:
; Note comment lines begin with either ! or ;

set user=brownf
set password=secretsecret
open coho.halcyon.com
cd /www/frog
mode ascii
put myfile.rpt
mode binary
put myotherfile.exe
quit
! End of sample ftpb command file
