FTP batch file

[dennysthemenace]

Hi

Can any one please let me know how to pass a file from DSTX to a FTP batch script? I used batch adapter to call a simple batch file to write and delete stuff, but I am not sure how to use it with FTP since it calls a script and gets the data from there. Below is the batch file and the script. I call the ftp batch file, but how can I can I pass the file name and file itself through the batch adapter to the batch file during run time? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

ftp -s:ftp.txt--- batch file

ftp>----script
open mainframe.net
user
pwd
prompt off
bin
quote site fixrecfm 500
quote site cyl
quote site pri=25
quote site sec=25
cd Apr19
mput test*.txt

Easiest way is to write the ftp commands to a file from Mercator and then run the batch adapter with the batch file containing the name of the command file.

I use this in a bat file. %1 is the name of the file to be ftp'd just to ensure it exists.

ECHO OFF
IF EXIST "%1" ftp -s:MERCCFR031Dftprun.txt > MERCCFR031Dftplog.txt

Thats wat I finally ended up doing and it is working. Thanks.

This way I have to write the files on the disk and then use the batch file and scripts to ftp these files. Can batch and script files not be wriiten in a single batch file, which will receive the files and ftp them directly from memory during runtime?
