In addition to the excellent suggestions that you have received so far, (
I
like and use FileZilla myself), you can also use Winders built in FTP
client to download CMS files to your PC. You can use the
client "interactively", (via a CMD window), or in "batch" mode. I have
used batch mode to download several files at once. It also allows you to
rerun the downloads, (or uploads), as often as you want. To run it in
batch mode, you need to create two files on your PC, a txt file and a bat
file. The txt file can be named whatever you want and should look
something like this: (PC name = getvm.txt)
open your.vm.system
userid
password
prompt
lcd c:\tempftp
ascii
get cmsfn.cmsft pcfn.pcft
get cmsfn2.cmsft pcfn2.pcft
quit
Update as appropriate for your system. The bat file needs to look
something like this: (PC name = getvm.bat
ftp -s:getvm.txt
pause
It obviously needs to reference the previously created txt file. Then
from windows explorer, just double click on the getvm.bat file and it wil
l
magically connect to your VM system and download the specified files! :-)
(The "pause" command will leave the CMD window open until you press the
enter key so you can see the FTP messages.)
