customize some settings in a FTP client

[clam5917]

Hi There,

I am wondering if it is possible to customize some settings in a FTP client before it is distributed to users?  I have few example on what i would like to automate.  Please see the attached file.

If this is do able, please give me some guidence on how to do this with scripting.  Maybe some examples too will help. :-) 

Thanks,

I don't think you will get a lot of help by posting just posting a requirements document.  Better to try to do some things and if you get stuck ask for help.  Post some code.

thanks Jfish for your reply.  That is the problem.  I don't  know it is do able and I very basic scripting knowledge (just learning), I don't know where to start.

Take it one step at a time! Your document already shows you can put tasks into steps, just now go by each step and try scripting it, if you have trouble, then ask.

The _IE functions will be a good start for downloading the client from the website.

All settings are stored in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareFTPWareCoreFTPSites). Each key is a site, with its configuration.

You just have to find which is the value for each setting you want to apply, and then use RegWrite to write the value (the configuration script will have to be run with the user account)
