FTP command line: folders

[Guest Patrick D.]

Hi,

 

Windows Server 2003:

 

With FTP command line, it is not possible, to send multiple folders.

I need to send each folder manually after creating it, is this correct?

 

Is there a possibility to send entire folder-structures?

I need to have a bat-file, since I want to schedule FTP-jobs.

 

Can anybody help me?

 

Thanks.

You could use the batch file below to send all files in the

current folder. To send a complete directory tree, complete

with all subdirectories, you would need to add some extra

coding. Alternatively you could use Google to look for

advanced ftp commands.

@echo off

set script="%temp%\script.scr"

set site=ftp.patrick.com

set account=pat

set password=somepassword

 

echo> %script% %account%

echo>>%script% %password%

echo>>%script% binary

for %%a in (*.*) do echo>>%script% put "%%a"

echo>>%script% quit

ftp -s:%Script% %site%

Hi Pegasus

 

Thanks a lot for your great coding service :-)

 

Maybe I can use your code in combination with windows backup to disk: I

won't always know all foldernames at the beginning. That's why I could simply

backup the folderstructure to disk. And then send this file(s) via ftp.

Use a zip utility that preserves the folder structure, then ftp the

zip file to your backup medium.
