Topic: Batch file help

[britbob]

Anyone have a good understand of windows/ms batch files?

I have an old piece of Windows software that has a built in ftp scripting option on a scheduler. Unfortunately it won't work anymore because most hosts provide a secure ftp environment these days which it can't cope with!!

The software does everything I need, it dumps the created images in a folder locally on my c: drive but obviously without ftp working it won't upload them to the host via ftp.

Does anyone know how to write a windows batch file that will ftp all the images (wild card??) in the local folder to a designated folder within my hosting environment.

I can schedule the batch file every hour through windows, thus achieving what the software used to do.

Hope this makes some sense!!!

Hi
Winscp ftp program can schedule ftp uploads to a website host.  So if your batch file loads everything to a folder then Winscp could upload them for you.
Download it and give it a try.

I'm also using WinSCP with the linked method. It's worked flawless for me.

Thanks guys, and it can capture all the .png's in a folder and upload them such as wild card style?

I'll have a look as the docs and figure out how to write the script/commands to make it happen.

Here is my command, with login edited.  I'm sure you could change that to a wild card, although I haven't tested it.
