VBScript & FTP

hmm ok another question.

If I run this from the command prompt, it outputs the commands and respones to file.txt -

Code:

%windir%\system32\ftp.exe -i -n -s:Instructions.ftp > c:\file.txt

If I run this from my script, it gives me the help menu or something for ftp (can't stop it fast enough to see what the error is..)

Code:

oWshShell.run "%windir%\system32\ftp.exe -i -n -s:" & strInstructions & " > c:\file.txt", 1, True

When I echo the command its running, its exactly the same as the command I am running at the command prompt... Am I doing this wrong?

Thanks!

ahh.. nevermind.

Code:

oWshShell.Exec "%COMSPEC% %windir%\system32\ftp.exe -i -n -s:" & strInstructions & " > c:\file.txt"

 

hmmm ya... so the comspec logs the interaction like this:

Code:

rename 2600 Old
Old: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. 
mkdir 2600
2600: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. 

While when I run it (without comspec of course) from the dos prompt, it logs it like this:

Code:

ftp> rename 2600 Old
350 File exists, ready for destination name
550 Old: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. 
ftp> mkdir 2600
550 2600: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. 

In the second scenario, from the command prompt, I could search the output file for error "350" and deal with it. With the first scenario I can't do that because their are no error numbers. Each portion of the FTP code will have to be seperate... that sucks.... Anyone know a way around this?
