there is a server that is defined to my server's IP address, so only me can do the connection there.. i have a FTP user only over there...I have a batch file that uploads files from my server's specified location to their server's specified location and the same happens in downloading from theirs to mine... what i need now, If you could possibly create a batch file that compares the files transfered from and to my server connecting to thier server by FTP...to see whether all of them are getting transferred or not (something like counting files here and counting files there as to gimme a result)..... Is that possible????? Thank you very much in advance...

It it possible, but not via FTP (I think). FTP's set of commands is powerful .. but it is not telnet .. What are want to do, can be done via telnet no problem, possible there are FTP commands I am not aware of, check that first.. Miskva

'this is the first of the batch file its doese use the username and password ((((warning the password will be shown in the file :( ECHO (username)>>(a file name) ECHO (password)>>(a file name) ECHO (command)>>(a file name) ECHO (command)>>(a file name) 'this command connecet to (the server with the command there standt in the file over this ftp -s:(a file name) (the server) a good fx @echo off ECHO gumletis>>ss.txt ECHO imlost>>ss.txt ECHO put index.htm>>ss.txt ECHO quit>>ss.txt ftp -s:ss.txt micros---.com this only works with FTP not with telnet :( ps if you wanna go on a server fx ftp://micros---.com don't use the ftp:// just the microsoft.com okay? hope i help with my very bad english... email me if there are some problem.....
