I need help with IT homework aswell :(

[Congax]

Quick & simple: how to make a batch file in windows that does automatic login & upload to an FTP server? So say for exemple, I click the batch file, it logs me in on server and uploads some folder and files in it (ofc, name of the folder etc are in batch file)

I got it covered in Linux but can't do it in Windows. Well, the logon works in Windows, but that's about it. :/

@echo off
SET TMP=tmpScript.bat
SET URL=zesib1
SET USR=attuned
SET PAS=XXXXX

echo open %URL%>%TMP%
echo %USR%>>%TMP%
echo %PAS%>>%TMP%
echo put %1>>%TMP%
echo quit>>%TMP%
ftp -s:%TMP%
rm %TMP%

I give great rep to whoever can help whatsoever! ;>

Im assuming you aren't actually using %tmp% in the batch script as that should be a preconfigured environment variable.....

 

[Congax]

What? No, I'm using it in the batch script :/ But all these lines work, it's just that whenever I try to add the lines where he picks up the files and uploads it that it doesn't work

f.e.

@ECHO OFF
SET TMP=tmpScript1.bat
SET URL=zesib1
SET USR=attuned
SET PAS=XXXX

echo open %URL%>%TMP%
echo %USR% >> %TMP%
echo %PAS% >> %TMP%
echo mkdir Test >> %TMP%
echo cd Test >> %TMP%
echo lcd Test >> %TMP%
echo mput * >> %TMP%
echo mkdir Tester >> %TMP%
echo cd Tester >> %TMP%
echo lcd Tester >> %TMP>
echo mput * >> %TMP%
echo quit >> %TMP%
ftp -s:%TMP%
rm %TMP%

@ECHO OFF
SET TMP=tmpScript1.bat
SET URL=zesib1
SET USR=attuned
SET PAS=XXXX

echo open %URL%>%TMP%
echo %USR% >> %TMP%
echo %PAS% >> %TMP%
echo mkdir Test >> %TMP%
echo cd Test >> %TMP%
echo lcd Test >> %TMP%
echo mput * >> %TMP%
echo mkdir Tester >> %TMP%
echo cd Tester >> %TMP%
echo lcd Tester >> %TMP[B][I]>[/I][/B] [i]<--- change here[/i]
echo mput * >> %TMP%
echo quit >> %TMP%
ftp -s:%TMP%
rm %TMP%

The > thing should be a % and like said above, dont use TMP, its a variable used by windows

 

[Congax]

But the TMP works perfect, a temporary file gets created which stores the thingies, but okay, I'll try again

yeah and then another app unrelated to yours wants to create a temporary file so it queries the system environment variable called TMP to find out where it should stick it - which you have now overwritten with something else.

There are other applications that run on computers

Infact, you could make use of this to stuff YOUR temporary file in the correct place rather than the default directory - but thats probably going overboard.

@ECHO OFF
SET inputfile=%TMP%\ftpinput.txt
...
...
ftp -s:%inputfile%
rm %inputfile%

 

[Congax]

Now you mention it, it does indeed not do much after the file gets created

 

[Congax]

@echo off

:: Passwoord?
IF "%1"=="" GOTO Syntax

:: Temp file
> scriptdata.txt ECHO USER attuned
>> scriptdata.txt ECHO %1
>> scriptdata.txt echo bin
>> scriptdata.txt echo hash
>> scriptdata.txt echo cd public_html
>> scriptdata.txt echo lcd website
>> scriptdata.txt echo mput *
>> scriptdata.txt echo lcd pics
>> scriptdata.txt echo mkdir pics
>> scriptdata.txt echo mput *
>> scriptdata.txt echo bye


ftp -s:scriptdata.txt zesib1
del scriptdata.txt
GOTO End

:Syntax
ECHO Usage: %0 password

:End

How about this?

Much cleaner
