Is there an easy way to download a daily file from an FTP site automatically ?
Looking for an automated way to download a daily file from an FTP site (which requires a login ID/password) to my local network. Would like to be able to schedule when this occurs.

You can either write a program to do that (even VB is capable of it) or use CuteFTP - it has scripting capability.

If it's a Windows network, use the "AT" command to execute FTP and redirect in the login and script that you would have to type at the command line like this: at 01:00 "ftp << [fullpath]\myFTPscript.txt
If it is on Unix, you can use a similar tool, called "cron", but the "at" command is also available on Unix (and of course other flavors of Unix, such as Linux, etc.)
