I need a way to automate up and downloads.
I need to send and recieve log files. the names of the logs are the date (example 082102.log) Now I need some way to have the ftp program connect to a site transmit the files in a certain folder (no matter what they are called) and retrieve files from another folder (no matter what they are called) and be able to do this when activated via a scheduling program.

and hints? I have tried the command line option with a saved Queue file but t will only do it with specifically named files... it errors otherwise.

you should queue whole dir those files reside in. this way you don't have to specify exact file name each time.

creating a queue file with *.* does nor work to transfer whatever is in the directory nor does using just an open ended statement like C:\temp\

Make sure the queue item type is set as folder and not file. then c:\temp\ should work.
