I've been trying the last two days to get this to work but if fails 
using cron with cygwin but works just fine using cron  with Fedora 
Core 4. If I run myscript.sh from a console the script runs fine.

I can't seem to login to the ftp site when run from cron.  Any ideas? 
I've tried running this as both Administrator and power user wess.

I updated cywin to whatever was current this morning and tried again 
before posting this.

Thanks,

Wes S
