Help with a batch file

Can someone please help me with writing a batch file? I really don't know much about them. Here is what it needs to do if possible.
In a dos promt I change to a network drive "F" then cd and then from that directory I ftp and use a username and then a password and once I am in the remote server I need to "cd" and then transfer a file and then "bye" Is there a way to make this into a batch file? Thanks in advance!! Matt

i don't think so...i don't think batch files can interact with a program in dos...but in windows..u can download a program called FakeSurf...u can record your mouse so u just go about opening a windows ftp prg like cuteftp, click on the ip u want ot connect to and stuph like that and Fake Surf will record it and u can replay it at a later time good luck :) neXussT
