Forums Scripts & Popups can i use mirc to connect to ftp?

i wanna use mirc to connect to ftp to get a list of files in certian dirs on the ftp. is this possible in mirc?

Not with mirc, but with ftp.exe. Create a file called cmd.txt in your mirc folder, open it with notepad and put there the following (remember to omit my comments)

• [FTP host]
  open ftp.cdrom.com
  [user]
  anonymous
  [pass]
  anony[/i]@mouse.com
  [desired directory]
  cd pub
  ls
  [leave the > there or 'quit' will appear in your output file]
  quit >

Now type this command:

• /run -n command.com /c ftp -v -s:cmd.txt|find /v ">">out.txt

(you may want to use cmd.exe instead of command.com depending on your OS)

After it's done running, you'll have an out.txt file in your mirc folder, containing the ftp directory listing.

i got this to work but when i tried another port apart from 21 couldnt connect i tried open ftp.cdrom.com:1234 but that didnt work any ideas?

Change : to a space, as follows

• open ftp.cdrom.com 1234

thank you

It is possible to do this with SSL-enabled FTP's?

It is possible, but you will need an SFTP client such as PSFTP.

As you are using a different program you will no longer use the file Online gave, and you will need a new command. The output will also come in a very different format. The new command is:

//run -n command.com /C echo cd [color:green]/home $chr(10) ls $chr(124) psftp user@host -pw password > out.txt[/color]

Here is a sample output of the file your script will need to be able to understand:
