Re: FN-FORUM WSH and FTP

Urrggh. My brain's fried, I've just been talking to Customs and Excise about
importing something from Canada. Jeez! Lovely people, but what a hassle.

Anyway, ADSI/WSH is probably easier if you have to mess around, but just for
fun, here is a batch file (or part of one) for NT that allows you to name a
file by date (eg 020124.txt), you could technically use the same method to
get filename of a log file.

rem =====================================================

rem === Get Current Date and Previous Date

rem === Last Modified On 03 Feb 99

rem =====================================================

:GetDate

FOR /F "TOKENS=2" %%D IN ('DATE /T') DO SET @DATE=%%D

SET @[EMAIL REMOVED]@DATE:~8,2%

SET /A @[EMAIL REMOVED] - 1

SET @[EMAIL REMOVED]@[EMAIL REMOVED]

SET @[EMAIL REMOVED]@[EMAIL REMOVED]





Now you can copy a file to [EMAIL REMOVED] and it will have the

current date in YYMMDD format.





Have you tried ShellExec to call ftp (remember that you can put all your ftp
commands in a text file) from wsh--remember I'm not a developer!!
