Batch file to upload .txt to FTP

Question

I have setup a separate FTP account for this.

Here is the info:

FTP Username: [email protected]
FTP Server: ftp.proflightsimulatoreview.com
FTP Server Port: 21
FTP Password: ahktest

Text file I want to upload: C:\Users\Kyle\Desktop\ftptest\thetest.txt

Please show me how to do this with batch. My understanding is that you make a separate txt file with the FTP commands and then you use a batch file to run it. Well I must have not plugged in the info right because it didn't work.

So here I am giving you the information. Please show me how to upload a text file.

Answer 1

I just put HELLO.TXT in your ftp root by;

1. Saving this as MYFTP.bat:

@echo off
echo user [email protected]> ftpcmd.dat
echo ahktest>> ftpcmd.dat
echo put %1>> ftpcmd.dat
echo quit>> ftpcmd.dat
ftp -n -s:ftpcmd.dat ftp.proflightsimulatoreview.com
del ftpcmd.dat

2. From the command line, in the same directory as MYFTP.BAT, running;

MYFTP.BAT c:\temp\hello.txt

result
