Command Line

[gary]

Is it possible to schedule files to upload from the command line using FP
2003? If so, can someone tell me the exact command line or point me to a
knowledge source?

Hi Gary,

If I had to accomplish this via FP I would use the Windows task scheduler to run IE with a given URL. The URL would be to a page
that has the upload form element already defined. JavaScript would be used in the onload event to cause the from to submit, thereby
uploading the file.

With that said I would strongly recommend to my management that they use FTP to upload the files. WS_FTP has a very nice scheduled
component. FTP can be used with FP provided you stick with generic files.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply. In it you said, "WS_FTP has a very nice scheduled

I know that FTP can corrupt some FP files. Please tell me what you mean by
"generic files". Thanks.

If you're uploading .htm, .asp, aspx, txt, image files etc. FP will work just fine. But I would recommend that you do a Tools |
Recalchyperlinks when you open the web at the server.
