Hello Expert ,

I have to run the ftp comand from my local desktop to  ftp 1 single file.

This file is critical to copy for the application patch installation & upgrade.

Below are the steps that i am following.Can i make this commands in a script.

Open cmd window on MSCM Server
D:
cd MSCM/DSSO
 
(or DSSO)

ftp -nv srvname

user <userid>

bin

prompt

cd /law/c0xxyy/gen/perms_files
 

pwd

dir

get DSSO.jar

quit

Thanks & with regards,

Vishal

A quick Google search yielded some good results: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+ftp+batch+file

Basically it will require 2 files.

The contents of the first file, names ftp-file.script, should be:

open srvname

userid

password

lcd /D "D:\MSCM\DSSO"

bin
prompt
cd /law/c0xxyy/gen/perms_files
pwd
dir
get DSSO.jar

bye

The second file, named ftp-file.bat, should be:

ftp -i -s:ftp-file.script

Then, when you want to FTP the file, just run the ftp-file.bat file.

Hi Patrick ,

I did the same as you said .Created 2 files 1 with name ftp-file.script on to which i copied the content & run the command ftp -inv -s:ftp-file.script from the command prompt and got the below error ;

C:\Users\VPatankar>ftp -inv -s:ftp-file.script
Error opening script file ftp-file.script.

Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.


Please suggest ...

Thanks Vishal

Are both files in the same directory?

The error indicates that it can't find the ftp-file.script file.

[Vishal_1980]

Yes both the files are in the same folder....

Hi Patrick,

When i run the batch file i got the below error...

C:\Users\VPatankar\Desktop>ftp -i -s:ftp-fil

In my example the lines with userid and password are the actual userid and password.  You do NOT specify "user userid" or "password passw0rd" you just specify kvaze and passw0rd on each line.

After changing the parameters as per you said , below is the output of the .bat file..
C:\Users\VPatankar\Desktop>ftp -i -s:ftp-fil
ftp> open srv0536
