Powershell script to ftp MySQL backup file and restore it locally.

The following Powershell script can be customised and scheduled (

 powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file E:\scripts\dbrestore.ps1
) on your server:

 <#########################################################################
  Purpose:  FTP down MySQL backup file and restore it locally.
  Requirements: 1) Source backup file automatically created daily.
       The name is generated as YYYYMMDD_dbname.sql
       and located in /dbbackup folder.
      2) Indy.Sockets.dll exits on the destination system.
       Lets presume that it is located in e:\scripts
