It is not always possible.

You could try Java Robot

Some kinds of software are much easier to interface with. If you could be more specific about the target software and about your operating system, we might be able to make alternate suggestions.

Thanks Walter.. My OS is windows 7 I want to use WS_FTP through MATLAB script..

What is WS_FTP? Is it an FTP program? Or do you just want to do FTP? I've done FTP from MATLAB before by writing all my ftp commands to a .bat batch file and executing the batch file with the system() function.

If it can be run as a COM server, like Microsoft products, then you can use ActiveX to talk to it. Search this forum for ActiveX to see examples.
