Issuing specific commands during an ftp session

[cringthis]

When in an active ftp session, is there a way to issue a command directly to the ftp server? Alternatively, is there a way to run a short script (set of ftp commands) after the connection has been established?

I'm connecting to an ftp site where I need to 'quot auth' and 'quot resp' after connecting.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't dig it up...

Thanks.

[ Note also that I had to resort to Indy 9 to get ftp to connect through my firewall - SmartFTP wasn't up to the challenge. :( ]

You can issue an arbitrary FTP command using the registry tweak "AfterLogin".

I'm curious as to why SmartFTP didn't work with your firewall. What firewall are you using? Did you get an error message when you used SmartFTP?
