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.

Patrick

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.

Re: FTP command line: folders

Use a zip utility that preserves the folder structure, then ftp the
zip file to your backup medium.
