Use <<EOF on the ftp command. The shell input is read up to EOF

e.g.
ftp -nv hostn <<EOF
user xx xxpw
cd dir
get file
EOF

You'll have to create an input file

Code:

C:\PetrusD>type ftpscript.bat
@echo off
echo user anonymous anonymous@unknown.com >c:\tmp\ftpcmd.txt
echo dir >>c:\tmp\ftpcmd.txt
echo quit >>c:\tmp\ftpcmd.txt
ftp -s:\tmp\ftpcmd.txt -vn ftp.microsoft.com
