I have a batch file that automatically FTPs some files from our servers using the regular Windows command environment(cmd.exe)and it worked great until our Security folks decided to require secure ftp. Now We have to use the PuTTY Secure FTP client (psftp.exe) to FTP these files. The problem is that when I call the program from the batch file, Window's cmd.exe is what gets started and not psftp.exe itself. In other words when I open psftp.exe manually the app window shows "C:\psftp.exe" so I can FTP just fine but as soon as I try to open the app using the batch file, the app window shows "C:\WINDOW\system32\cmd.exe" and I can't FTP securely. Does anyone knwo how to call the application and actualy invoke it instead of the Window's cmd.exe? Thanks, REMGU

It might help to post the batch. Then again, it might not. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

It's simple, I have the file in the pc's root directory. Here is a sample: @echo off C:\psftp.exe pause Thanks, REMGU
