I have used a product from nsoftware (www.nsoftware.com) called IP*Works to=
 do
automated FTP stuff from a VBScript.

The Filemailer component of their IP*works Toolkit looks like it could be u=
sed
to do what you want. I have had good luck with their products in the past. =
You
can also use Javascript to drive their software IIRC.

Its not free (about $700). If you want something cheaper Google around for
ActiveX/COM controls for e-mail. You might find a shareware type of product.

I've also seen various mailer programs some of which might be command-line
callable. Search for "sourceforge mailer" and you'll get hits on several fr=
ee
open source products that are likely to be command line drivable. There are=
 lots
of Unix-types contributing to SourceForge projects and command line operati=
on is
generally important to them.

Subject: [OT]:: emailing files from outer darkness / aka DOS box.

I want to send files by email from a "DOS box" in Windows - XP, Vista,
WIN2000, ... .
Ideally from the command line or batch file or script.
Batch file or DOS level commands which can be accessed via DOS calls
from a steam driven application would be most desirable.

Any amount of high level arcanery exists to do this - I'd like some
low level arcanery.

Ideally I want a system process that takes a directory of files and
sends them one per message with a subject line to a specified location
by email.
(Subject line becomes a website photo title. Destination address sets
folder & album they appear in).

1st glance suggested Telnet was up to the task.
2nd glance that it wasn't - ie file transfer is not a Telnet
capability and variants that do have add ons.

Misc Gargoyling produces no obvious solutions.

Any suggestions welcome.
