Tip

Download your entire source to your PC

Here is a quick way to download the entire source from a file in a given library. Just call the bat file GETALLSRC with the parms. You will need a user profile that has FTP access to the system you want to download from.
 
  
@ECHO OFF
IF %1.==. GOTO problem
IF %2.==. GOTO problem
IF %3.==. GOTO problem
IF %4.==. GOTO problem
IF %5.==. GOTO problem
cls
ping %3 -n 2 | find /i "reply" >nul && goto getfils
echo System does not exist on the network! & goto End
:getfils
cls
F:
cd 
cd sources
md %3
cd %3
md %4
cd %4
md %5
cd %5
rename *.txt *.MBR
ECHO open %3 >FTPSRC.TXT
ECHO user %1 >>FTPSRC.TXT
