OK here's the solution.
the line echo cd StoreFiles needs to be changed to:

echo cd StoreFiles>>script.ftp

What was happening was the script was not changing to the "storefiles" directory and the script was unable to find the specific file to download. Now it changes to the proper directory and downloads the proper files.

Thanks for your help guys.

Same result the file that is created on the desktop is empty.

I managed to get a look at what's going on in the DOS window. It appears that the bat.file is connecting to the server and the user is logged in but when the echo binary line executes the message
Aborting any active data connections.... connection closed by remote host appears. Then we get a cmd line that says not connected.

I've tried moving this line down after get file.......I've tried taking it out and it always disconnects after the user is logged in. I know we are connecting to the server and the password is being accepted and the user is logged in, all of these things appear in the DOS window.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks J. and Scancode.
My apologies for not making myself clear that I was interested in doing this in an AHK script.

I tried this with a batch file and there are 2 issues. The first being is that the files I want to transfer are in a different directory on the server. In other words the entire path is ftp://sizzlermgt.com/StoreFiles/
Putting that address in the open cmd. doesn't work. I guess I need a change directory command.

Second to test the bat.file I tried to download a file from the parent directory (ftp.sizzlermgt.com). The file name that is in the bat.file(echo get StoreInfo.pdf>>script.ftp)  and does indeed exist in the parent directory appears on my desktop, but when you open it there is no data in it.

Is there a way that I can step through the bat.file so I can see what the cmd line comments are. The cmd lines executed come up on the screen for a brief instant and it is hard to read what's going on.

Thank you both for your time.

OK I placed all the custom info where you indicated in red
and I get an error message that says:
 line text: echo open ftp.sizzlermgt.com>script.ftp
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

The program exits after this error message
Am I doing something wrong?

You can script FTP.exe

[Select]

echo open ftp.myftpserver.com>script.ftp
[/quote]


Thanks

I'm not sure where to customize my enteries.
I'm guessing replace ftp.myserver.com and myusername  and mypassword with my personal info.
But what about echo binary
and how do I select the specific files that I want to download. Should I replace echo get file1 with the name of the file?ftp
When I replace ftp.myserver.com I get an error message
If you could be a little more specific that would help.
I am new to all this...........obviously.

I've been searching for a script that would connect to a ftp server (user name and password required) and then transfer multiple files back from the server to the users computer. It seems that there might be something like this out there already. Any ideas?

Thanks

  arghh..........brain fart.

My fault I had the # sign cemented in my brain as the character for a space. I see your correction now.

Everything is good to go !!

Thank you very much.

Thanks I installed V1.0.4.2 and it appears to be working with no glitches.

However the folder name still contains a space. If you notice my previous post, I already had the ini configured as you suggested with the # sign.

Here are the current settings on the config.ini file in use:
[Settings]
Remove_Chars=1
Chars_To_Remove=!@#$%^&()-_

If you test this example I expect you will get a created folder with a space in the folder name.

Example: file name is "Store Info.docx" (no quotes)
Folder created is "Store Info"
Would like the folder name to be StoreInfo (no space)

[Settings]
Remove_Chars=1
Chars_To_Remove=!@#$%^&()-_

Thank you for your time and quick responses. It's nice to deal with someone who has passion for their work.

Can you provide me with the exact paths you're using, please?

1) Files 2 Folder install path.
2) Full path of the ABC folder you reference.
3) Full path and filename of the file you're working with.

Thanks.

1)=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Files2Folder
2)=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Holding
3)=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Holding--filename is Action Plan444.xlsx

Note: This behavior was remedied by a re-install of the program. However I want you to know that the program was creating a new directory named "documentsandsettings" again this is not the same directory that already exists on the  drive named:
 "Document and Settings"

 The operating sys is XP PRO service pack3 installed.

BTW can you answer my other question.

I would like to remove the space from specific file names.
How do you set up the config.ini to create a folder name without the space that's in the file name.

Example: file name is "Store Info.docx" (no quotes)
Folder created is "Store Info"
Would like the folder name to be StoreInfo (no space)

Here are the settings on the config.ini file:

[Settings]
Remove_Chars=1
Chars_To_Remove=!@#$%^&()-_

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this.
I right click on a file that's in a folder name "ABC" and select Files2Folder. The program creates the folder with the proper file name but it creates it in a new directory that it created called documentsandsettings (no spaces between doc and set) rather than creating it in folder "ABC".

Note this is not the Document and Settings folder( note the space between doc and set)that is already resident on my C drive. The application creates this folder. Subsequently any other files selected regardless of what directory they are in, also have their folders created in this directory(documentsandsettings).

Any idea what's going on?
