Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet

VBS Learne #1 / 7	Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet Hello Scripters, I like those great scripts but how do I get Jeff's example to run ? I tried Jeff Mastry's example ftp and I was able to get the Internet Explorer 5 to come up. This is how I started it from the DOS prompt: Start ftptest.vbs IE was trying to get access ftp://ftptest.vbs/ as a site. Did I miss something ? The script that I tried is listed below: 'Name: Jeff Mastry 'Script_Type: scriptlet 'keywords: ftp, XML, 'Comment: 'This is a scriptlet that allows you to easily transfer files via FTP without an external control. 'Script: 'Sample useage: Set ftp = WScript.CreateObject("FTP.Scriptlet") ftp.Host = "ftp.microsoft.com" ftp.LocalDir = "C:\Downloads" ftp.RemoteDir = "/some/where" ftp.Download "*.vbs" WScript.Echo ftp.ReturnCode & vbCRLF & ftp.Output ' Note that this scriptlet requires one of my other scriptlets ' called "Shell.Scriptlet" (uploading that one next)

VBS Learne #2 / 7	Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet I just registered ftp.wsc and shell.wsc per your instruction. Then I ran ftptest.vbs. An error message came up, saying "ActiveX can't create object shell.wsc" Perhaps I'm still missing something. Please advise.

Michael Harri #3 / 7	Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet I just downloaded and installed these. I had to edit them and remove the comments that preceded the intital XML directive before they would register as .sct files. When I ran the sample script, I got the same non-response. A little debugging revealed that in the .sct that defines the FTP.Scriptlet, the line Set WshSysEnv = WshShell.Environment("SYSTEM") needs to be changed to Set WshSysEnv = WshShell.Environment("PROCESS") PROCESS is the only environment that's valid for both WinNT and Win9x. What happens on a Win9x box is that the query for the WINDIR environment variable comes back blank and the ftp command string built starts with \ftp.exe instead of C:\Windows\ftp.exe Since this won't execute, the command output is empty. Once I fixed this, it works fine. I didn't try to figure out why the WScript.Echo at the end doesn't at least pop up an empty message. PS - I cc'd this post ro Jeff Mastry. -- Michael Harris Hello Scripters, I like those great scripts but how do I get Jeff's example to run ?

Jeff #4 / 7	Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet Michael, Thanks for all the work! I'll change the environment setting and repost to Clarence's site as soon as I can. I've had several e-mails from people who had registration problems because of the comments Clarence puts at the beginning of all submitted scripts. I've been meaning to send him an e-mail about this but.... well, I procrastinated :^) Since the comments don't really affect 'normal' scripts, I don't think Clarence is aware of the potential confusion. I'm copying this post to Clarence so he can take a look at the problem. Thanks again Michael! Jeff Quote: > I just downloaded and installed these.

i.. #5 / 7	Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet Assuming you have installed the Windows Script Component software you have to register the .wsc file (Scriptlet) as a com object which you can do by right clicking the .wsc file and selecting the 'Register' option. If you don't see the register option then the Script Component software is not installed (it is not part of WSH although the WSC download includes WSH and scripting engines v5).

VBS Learne #6 / 7	Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet Thank you Michael. The information you provided is very helpful. Additionally, I found that in the File FTP.sct, I need to change the line that says CreateObject("Shell.wsc") to read CreateObject("Shell.Scriptlet"). On a related subject, can anyone answer the question why .wsc and .sct appear to refer to Scriptlet type ? Anyway, these scriptlets work great and I got a very good exercise out of them. Thank you all once again. Enoch Quote: > I just downloaded and installed these.

Michael Harri #7 / 7	Great scripts: FTP.scriptlet and Shell.scriptlet The ftp.sct source code I have (downloaded on 5/1) has CreateObject("Shell.Scriptlet"). The .sct and .wsc extensions are equivalent. The .wsc extension was added after the final beta I believe to reflect the new name of Windows Script Components. -- Michael Harris Thank you Michael.
