Using FTP in a batch file

pinkmonkey · 2008-06-12 14:28:27

I have been trying to write an FTP script in a batch file but it doesn't seem to work...even though when I go through the steps by typing them in DOS it works perfectly... If someone can look at what I am typing in the batch file that would be great :START ftp open IPADDRESS username password get filename put filename quit…

Specifying an ftp script using -s looks like a winner...

You could set all the launch options in the batch file and leave the specific ftp commands in this other file.
