Launch default browser with specified URL and print in form

109 100+
I'm trying to launch the default browser with my specified URL (ftp.<my-website>.co.uk) and I then want the program to log me in with my username and password. I have tried:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. system("start /min ftp.<my-website>.co.uk");
This of course opens up a browser (not sure if it is always default), but I know this is the wrong way to achieve what I want to do as I cannot login/enter data into the login form.

Help would be much appreciated.

You would probably be best served by using a script or a batch file, depending on your OS.

My only problem with that is that I need to run a lot of commands in a loop and it will be significantly slowed down if I am using a script each time. Is it possible to connect with the ftp command in the command line?
