Solve : FTP Command line "prompt" not working as intended?

Answer»

Hello,

This is my FIRST piost so not quite SURE how helpful this forum will be

I am trying to upload multiple files from my local system to an external FTP account. I do this via a batch file, so i have upload.bat and ftp.txt.

upload.bat contains the following:

Code: [Select]cd C:
cd \Batch Files\awaiting
ftp -s:..\ftp.txt
move *.xml ..\processed

Then i have an ftp.txt which is this:

Code: [Select]open ftp.abd.com
username
password
cd \IMPORT\Files
prompt
mput *.xml
bye
ftp -n

I have MANY .xml files but only 1 is being uploaded although i have turned to prompt off which stops cmd asking me what i want to do.

Can anyone see where i am going WRONG?

I would really appreciate it if someone could assist.

Kind regards,

BillyI wonder if the MOVE is being executed while the ftp session is in progress ?
The ftp session finds a file and uploads it but by the time it returns all of the files have been moved out ?Quote

If that is the case, then you could just use start /wait .....
