I am trying to run DOS ftp in Vista using the following: ftp -v -s:\"c:\<folderName>\ftpvm.cmd\" www.<website>.com where ftpvm.cmd has the following commands: <username> <password> type binary cd <target directory> mkdir <FolderName> lcd "c:\<localdirectory>" put <fileName> ...etc. ftp logs in, executes the first few commands, then hangs on the 'put' command. Just sits there until a timeout cancels the routine. File name was created in the put but 0 bytes were transferred Makes no difference whether Vista firewall is on or off. Seems to depend on the installation since many Vista users have not reported any problem, but I get the same failure on my machine that my user sees so know it is not unique. The .CMD file is created in a FileMaker application. This procedure has been working for years in XP, and until now in Vista. What could cause some installations to hang on the 'put' command?? What can be done about it? TIA
