Hi,

I assume, that you

1. don't have a configured connection
2. don't use the correct values of your selected connection

which you need for working RASDIAL, which does not create such a connection on the fly. It just can use existing ones. You can find your connection i.e. in Internet Explorer via Extras/Internetoptions/Connections. Usually you can find your connections in control panel.

Oh, and change C:\TEMPrasftp.prt to C:\TEMP\rasftp.prt :-)

>rasdial %RAS_NAME% %RAS_USER% %RAS_PASSWORD% >>%RAS_PRT%
