FTP Scripts 1

[joel009]

I have been trying to set up a bat and script file to ftp an access Db. I can do it manually but would like to call it from a macro and set it up on a schedular.

my bat:
ftp -s D:\Data\RFC\Blazent\BlazentFTP.txt

My script in a txt file:
open 1XX.1XX.1XX.75
blazent (ID)
Start123 (PWD
binary
hash
Put D:\Data\RFC\Blazent\Blazent1.mdb
bye

The dos window opens and scrolls a line forever acting like it is not opening the script. Anyone have any ides what's wrong. Using XP and Access 2002 but the Access version shouldn't come into play.

Thanks.

what's the message that's scrolling in the dos window?

 

[joel009]

the line that scrolls has the path to the batch file and then the -s D:\Data\RFC\Blazent\BlazentFTP.txt
all on one line in the dos window. It keeps scrolling until I use Ctrl C to stop it and then it asks me if I want to stop the batch process, I enter 'Y' to stop it. Is it running or is it caught in a loop? I have let it run as long as it take me to ftp the file manually and longer, it never seems to stop.

try this in your batch file. i can't figure out why it would be looping.

ftp.exe -s:"D:\Data\RFC\Blazent\BlazentFTP.txt

OMG, that did it!!! I have spent 2 day on this looking all over. It's always so simple in retrospect. Thank you so much. You get a star for this.
