I need to automatically upload a 40med database(.mdb)file from my Win2K server to an ftp site. What is the easiest and quickest way to automate this process?

i would say with an ftp batch file that runs at a certain time during the day.

do ftp --help on the command line for help.

good luck

write a batch file and schedule a task to run it at a specific time. Check out KB article 96269 for the commands.

Simple. Run the Windows task scheduler. You will have to manually configure the copy to that server and set up permissions and so forth but since task scheduler can run as a service, it can be automated. Remember to configure from the advanced settings.
