I want a batch file to ftp to a server, read out a text file, and disconnect. The server requires a user and password. I tried

@echo off
pause
@ftp example.com
username
password
pause

but it never logged on. How can I get this to work?

The answer by 0x90h helped a lot...

I saved this file as u.ftp:

open 10.155.8.215 
user
password
lcd /D "G:\Subfolder\"
cd  folder/
binary
mget file.csv
disconnect
quit

I then ran this command:

ftp -i -s:u.ftp

And it worked!!!

Thanks a lot man :)
