The trick would be to set up a bat file that would first do the ftp, then AFTER the ftp was successful, to have the browser "execute" the code. I suppose the code could also have something in it to close the browser window but the sequencing of these events is the issue. Is there any way of having some sort of script that would automatically upload a specific file from the local pc?

Whoa, slow down! Is curl and wget some kind of utility I can install on the local pc? "Scripting in bash" sounds NOT llike life being easy!
