You can't record the commpand prompt operation, only script it using the Windows Scripting Host shell object. 

The script can open the command window and then you can use the sendkeys method to type commands at the prompt. Note, the "~" character is used to send "Enter" command.

- The following script will open a command window and type commands in the window to ftp a file from the ftp server:

SystemUtil.Run "cmd","","L:",""
Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
oShell.run "cmd /K CD C: & cd temp & ftp <ftp server name>"
SystemUtil.CloseProcessByWndTitle "C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe"
oShell.AppActivate "C:Windowsystem32cmd.exe - ftp <ftp server name>"
wait (2)
oShell.SendKeys "<ftp job name>"
oShell.SendKeys "~" 
....
