automate ftp from Windows 2000 to Unix server

[joephilip]

I am developing a system to ftp some files from our Windows 2000 server to Unix.

I have an enironment varaible set at my windows side like this:

set DEST_DIR=/home/oracle/scripts

If I want to call that variable into the script like cd $DEST_DIR- how do I do this?

I put all my ftp commands in a file called ftp.cmd and call the ftp like this from the Command prompt:

ftp -s:ftp.cmd servername

---------------------
ftp.cmd file look like this:


oracle
passed
cd $DEST_DIR ----- what is the windows qequivalent of this command?
put myfile.sql
y
close
quit
EOF
----------------------------

You can try something like this:

cd %DEST_DIR%
ftp -s:ftp.cmd servername

and remove the cd line in your

ftp.cmd

file.

Hope This Help

or put the resolved value of $DEST_DIR variable in your ftp.cmd:

btw, why do you have 'command?' there?

#---------- ftp.cmd
oracle
passed
cd /home/oracle/scripts
command?
put myfile.sql
y
close
quit
