BOAC,
My idea was not to store it in a csv fie, my idea was to parameterise your batch file
then when you want to run it you open a command window and then just type in:-
Code:
C:\> Batchfilename username password
As far as I know there is no obvious way without downloading an application to prompt you for those details in a popup window.
By forms, I meant that the ftp application you are using is not a console application but a windows application. A windows application will return the thread of execution back to windows after start as they are written to run in a multi-tasking manner - whereas a console application will hog the thread of execution until it terminates - thus preventing the batch file continuing until its completed.
