information about a response file, the -s option.
You might also be interested in the ncftp client (new version released
yesterday!), the ncftpget programme is very neat.

| Subject: OT: Need help with Batch file
|
| Here's one for some of you older fellas, who still remember DOS:
|
|
|
| I need some help with a batch file for using FTP. (I can't
| use CFFTP, because it fails at the change to directory - the
| directory we want includes a space in the name and no matter
| how I try it won't include the space as part of the name)
|
|
|
| The commands I'm having trouble with is the get or mget. I
| don't know the exact file name I need to retrieve because it
| contains the date. The filename will always be in the form:
| p_mth_choice_mag_ddmmmyyyy_nnnnnn.zip
| where dd is the date, mmm is the month, yyyy is the year, and
| nnnnnn is a serial number of some sort. So I was hoping to
| have the ftp file use get or
| mget to retrieve p_mth=choice*.zip.
|
|
|
| When I do this using manual commands, get doesn't work
| because it doesn't support wildcards, but mget does. However
| mget wants a "y" confirmation for each file. How to I put in
| the batch file to answer Y?
|
|
|
| Here's the batch file I've written so far:
|
|
|
| ftp -d -s:C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\project\ftpconfig.txt ftp.comain.com.au
|
|
|
| And the ftpconfig.txt file contains the following:
|
|
|
| username
|
| password
|
| cd "Custom extracts\ ourfolder "
|
| lcd "\inetpub\wwwroot\project\files"
|
| mget p_mth_choice*.zip y
|
| quit
|
|
|
|
|
| But this fails because it hasn't got any "Y" response to the
| prompt. I know there's a way to have the batch file submit
| the "Y" to the script but I'm at a block. Can't remember how
| to do it, and my old DOS manuals went in the recycle bin years ago.
|
|
|
| Can anyone help?
|
|
|
| Cheers
