I want to copy a zip file from an FTP path to a local folder in my computer.
My client previously used coreftp.exe for that purpose. But now he ask us to use ftp.exe [default in windows machine, available at C:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe] for that purpose. The ftp is in the format :
ftp://username#ftpserver.address.com
And want to download it to d:\sample\docs folder on my machine.
I want that in a batch file so that I can schedule it through windows task manager.
So could you please help me to write that command on the batch file.
Thanks a lot in advance.
FTP.EXE is capable of executing script files. So you could just put this into your bat file:
#ECHO OFF
CD d:\sample\docs
FTP -v -i -s:C:\some\path\ftpscript.txt
And something like this into your ftpscript.txt:
open ftp://ftpserver.address.com
username
password
cd myfolder
get some_zip_file.zip
disconnect
bye
This will download some_zip_file.zip into the current directory (d:\sample\docs).

I am doing file copy from Linux to Windows share through FTP.
Once copy is done I am moving it to isilon storage which is shared on network path (manually).
Now I have created a batch file, which will do copy from FTP shared path to network path.
So how can I start batch file after FTP download? How can I automate it completely?
from Linux
ftp -n ip
user "user" "pwd"
put app.tar.gz
Once it is done i want to move it network shared path
Just use the copy command in a batch file, after the ftp.exe finishes:
ftp.exe -s:download.txt
copy c:\dowloadtarget\myfile.txt \\server\share\target\myfile.txt
You can run the copy even from the FTP script (the download.txt), if you need it for some reason. Use the ! (escape to shell) command.
get /remote/path/myfile.txt c:\dowloadtarget\myfile.txt
! copy c:\dowloadtarget\myfile.txt \\server\share\target\myfile.txt
But why don't you download the file directly to the shared folder?
get /remote/path/myfile.txt \\server\share\target\myfile.txt
Im trying to run a batch file on remote computer using psexec.exe
My code is;
psexec.exe \\192.168.13.187 -u Administrator -p default -d -i c:\temp\abc.bat
But when i execute this on command prompt, it connects to remote server's system32 folder then start the batch file.. Problem is that batch file has some CALL method in it (like CALL XXX.BAT) (XXX.BAT file is in the same folder.) Since psexec.exe uses system32 folder as root path, after running c:\temp\abc.bat file successfully, it could not CALL the other batch file. throwing 'could not find the file specified'..
My question is; how do i use the remote C:\temp\ folder as a root path after connecting the remote computer ?
Thanks for help in advance !!
Use the -w switch Luke.
-w directory Set the working directory of the process (relative to the remote computer).
Using FTP commands I want to upload a large file once and then copy that file to many directories on the remote FTP server. All the copy commands seems to relate to copying from local to remote or the other way around.
Is there an FTP command to copy remote to remote?
are you trying to move the file? if yes, you can do it using rename command to move the file, as for copy i guess you still have to do the the get,send from local-remote way.
as for move command should be something like this
rename /oldpath/file2move.txt /newpath/file2move.txt
Basically just rename your file path that is infront of the file that you wish to move.
As far as I know, there is no such command available in FTP protocol. There are some extensions to SFTP protocol to do this (and, having SSH access, you can issue cp commands), but SFTP is not an FTP.
I have a pre-defined ftp link with a zip file on the other end that I want to save to a directory on my cloud server (running Windows Server 2008). Once the zip file has been saved to a specified directory, lets say "c:\MyZipFiles\ZipFile-1.zip" for example, I want to unzip the file so that all files contained within the zip file are accessible within the same directory. I'm currently doing this manually and I want to automate this process by creating a .bat or .cmd file that will perform these steps for me.
Once the zip file is unzipped, I have a task in the Task Scheduler of Windows Server Manager ready to use the unzipped files for other things.
The pre-defined link looks something like this:
ftp://idx.realtor.com/idx_download/files.zip
I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help me with this...
Batch file
ftp -s:ftp_cmds.txt host-name-goes-here
unzip local-file.zip
exit
ftp_cmds.txt
username-goes-here
password-goes-here
cd remote-directory-goes-here
get files.zip local-file-name-goes-here.zip
quit
This the batch file uses "unzip" to unzip the archive you can find it here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/unzip.htm
Either put the binaries in the same directory or put them somewhere else and set your windows PATH
I used my own ftp to test most of this. Your ftp was offline for me, so it might take some tweaking but this should put you in the right direction.
I use the following code to put a file from my local machine to a remote machine:
open abc
a
b
lcd C:\Interfaces\KGR-ARV\XML
ascii
prompt
prompt
cd /usr/qkreditnethome/interface/temp
put C:\Interfaces\KGR-ARV\XML\*KGRRequest*QUA.XML
Y
quit
bye
Is there a way, using a ftp command, to copy the file from /usr/qkreditnethome/interface/temp to /usr/qkreditnethome/interface/temp2 ?
Thanks in advance!
There is no copy command in ftp. You will have to GET the file and PUT it where you want.
Depending on the OS you can take some third-party software which mounts the remote FTP as a part of the local filesystem, and then use regular system copy routines.
