Hello, I want to be able to download my anti-virus weekly update files in the middle of the night through the use of a script and ftping??? I want to connect to ftp.nai.com and download the sdat weekly anti-virus update. Is this possible and if so can anybody point me in the right direction.

man cron man wget cron can be used to repeat execution of kommands at certain intervals. wget can fetch files from ftp sites. Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

Sorry for big message, but this script works very fine. You will need to put it in a script file and run it from cron.
