SYMPTOMS
When you run an FTP script file in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 with
TCP/IP-32, commands like ! pause do not
work properly.
CAUSE
The "!" FTP command is not supported with TCP/IP-32. The release notes for
Microsoft TCP/IP-32 states the following:
"The FTP application which ships with this product does not support the
'!' command, which typically invokes a user shell."
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- Install Windows NT version 3.5
-or-
- Record a macro with the Recorder application using the FTP command and
assign it a shortcut key instead of using a script file. In addition,
make sure that the playback speed is set to Recorded Speed.
