I used to know this but...
What's the procedure for having a BAT file ftp files by accessing a DAT file for the ftp commands. I seem to remember the BAT file command being something like:
ftp -s:uploadinstructions.DAT www.yourdomain.com

Then the DAT file format being something like:
username
password
put filename1.html
put filename2.html
put imagename1.jpg
etc
etc
bye

but I've tried every variation I can think of and it's not working.

Any help would be MUCHO apreciated by this old-timer.
