SYMPTOMS
Using the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol (from either Windows NT 3.5 or TCP/IP-
32), you can't launch FTP from a batch file and use it interactively.
CAUSE
Some implementations of Berkeley's FTP client give you the ability to
launch FTP from I/O redirection and then use FTP interactively. Microsoft's
implementation of FTP does not support this functionality.
Windows NT 3.5 and TCP/IP-32 use batch files on the command line with the -
S switch. When the script finishes, FTP exits.
