This is something i'll look into. The only impediment to attempting is
that the authentication system that allows MF access may not allow me to
alter the way programs are started up. But I will look into.
Thanks.

I have run into something similar before with the VISTA UAC. Command prompts aren't started as an administrator, even if you are an administrator of the box when you start it. It lets you create a file, but not populate it, etc. I don't understand completely the reasoning behind it, but I've seen it.
It would have been helpful if sudo or something similar were built in for this,
but the only way I am familiar to get around this is through the gui, or
starting a new command prompt from a runas statement and switching to that.
If you create a shortcut to cmd.exe and then right click it, choose run as
administrator, and then try using ftp.exe.
Or you can go to the start menu, and put in cmd and then hit ctrl+shift+enter and that will do it to.
I don't know if this is your particular situation, but worth a shot.

I hear ya, but only certain apps can be authenticated for access into
the MF. WS-FTP is one and is much easier to use. I may end up shelling
out for licensed copy as a viable option.
