Hi
Here is the scenario.You create a form on a website for a client which
populates a an Access database. When it comes to backing up there data
they have to copy the database from the fpdb folder on there web to there
folder on there hard drive via ftp or frontpage.
Wouldn't it be good if there was a small program which automates this
procedure, so they can click on the program on there computer and backup
there database without having any web publishing experience?

It probably would be, and there probably is...try Google?

The command line FTP client built into windows has that capability.

I have one running with task scheduler that copes about a thousand files
from various places every weekend. Set it up two years ago and it has run
ever since.

Try "ftp /?" at a command line to get started.
 
I use the built in client all the time..never thought about using Task
Scheds for it though - good idea as long as the op just imports the db and
doesnt muck with anything else to mess up the FPSE it should work. I think.

Click to expand...
 
Start > Run > "cmd" (no quotes) so you go to the Command Line mode (like MS
DOS but not MS DOS).
