Here's the script info. 1) create a DOS batch file that calls the ftp script and runs the unzip command. I placed it in my F-Prot folder. --------- getdefs.bat --------- ftp -s:script.txt unzip.exe -o macrdef2.zip ------------------------------- ( I got the unzip.exe file from the FreeZip utility that you can get at most shareware sites.  You can also download FreeZip from my job's ftp site: ftp://www.mlc.lib.ms.us/pub/mlc/software/misc/freezip.exe. The "-o" option tells it to overwrite existing files without prompting. 2) the script it calls is located in the same folder (you might try ftp.frisk.is instead of ftp1.mirrors.complex.is) --------- script.txt --------- open ftp1.mirrors.complex.is anonymous (your e-mail address goes here) cd pub/ bin hash prompt get macrdef2.zip quit ---------------------------- That only updates the macro virus defs.  My batch file(also using the info-zip unzip.exe) follows.  It updates all three signature files, as well as the .exe, and takes care of the .pif file included with F-Prot that can cause problems with Declude. I have run this since F-Prot 3.04, and have automatically received every signature and program update without fail. ---- Begin UpdFProt.cmd: SETLOCAL :Set Path Info SET fprotdrv=f: SET fprotdir=\vscan\FPROT SET unzipcmd=UNZIP -o -u SET unziptail=-x f-prot.pif -d %fprotdrv%%fprotdir% SET FTPDir=/pub/ SET FTPServer=ftp1.mirrors.frisk.is SET ftpscript=%fprotdrv%%fprotdir%\update\updfprot.ftp md %fprotdrv%%fprotdir% md %fprotdrv%%fprotdir%\update if not exist %fprotdrv%%fprotdir%\update goto end pushd %fprotdrv%%fprotdir%\update :WriteFTPScript rem Here to avoid an extra file to maintain.
