Hi Teemu,


 


As the ftp command doesn't have GUI, you'd better use the following approach:


function Test()


{


  WshShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");


  executeCommand = WshShell.Run("cmd");


  if (Sys.WaitProcess("cmd", 3000).Exists)


  {


    Sys.Process("cmd").Window("ConsoleWindowClass", "*", 1).Keys("ftp[Enter]")


    Sys.Process("cmd").Window("ConsoleWindowClass", "*", 1).Keys("?")


  }


}


 


Read the "Testing Console Applications" article for details.
