Thread: C++ code to run a command line

Hi all. A newbie here!
Last time it touch C/C++ was about 15 years ago so now I am all rusted up.
What I am after is a simple C++ code to run a ftp command to connected to a server then login and download a file so something like:

ftp servername
user bob
pass bob
put file.txt
quit
bye

I know I can do a FTP command line like ftp servername -b script.txt
to execute the above, but I would like to do it without showing the ouput on screen

I have downloaded Quincy 2005 but can download another if needed.
Thanks
John
