sending file via ftp w/ batch file 4

[MikeT]

I need to send a file to a password protected ftp site once a day. Can I make simple .bat file to do this?

Is there a better way?
I'd like to use wget (for windows) if possible, as that is what I am using to get the file in the first place.

Why not just use the FTP client that came with Windows?

You use the -s switch as in:

ftp -s:ftpcmds.txt

Where ftpcmds.txt is a simple text file containing the same things you'd do interactively.

Sample:

open doxie.bvocs.com
produser
w3xcfGGkL7
put autoexec.bat removeme.bat
quit

Sample run:

ftp -s:ftpcmds.txt

Just user Windows Scheduler to run it on whatever schedule is desired. Include any GETs, PUTs, or whatever you want in the command file.

Why work harder?

Hi, I am using FTP to send a file to a remote location. At home (no network used) the dos program brings up the dial up window OK. In the office -an ftp message appears -unknown host. It seems the network server is looked at first, before the dial up network adapter. Do I have to remove the dial up adapter then add it again to the configuration list, so it appears first? Or is there a way of pointing a dos program to the dial up adapter?
Regards, Gary

I'm using this to do FTP, but I need to return a file listing (results from LS command)... how might I do this? Any ideas?

It looks good but whow do I use Mget in the TXT file.
Ftp asks for an Y to confirm when you do this interactive.

ddnvleu, you need to add a line "prompt" in your text file after the connection is established to toggle off the prompt mode. If you write the line again later, it will toggle back on.
