Solve : ftp -s?

Answer»

hello,

I am using a batch file to run a query, zip it and ftp it to a server. It all works FINE except the ftp command completes almost straight away, while the file i'm uploading is 12 mb. I'm using
ftp -s:login.txt Myserver

login.txt:
username
password
delete rainbow data.zip
put rainbow data.zip
QUIT

if I remove the quit, the file gets uploaded but the bat doesn't complete??? can anyone HELP?I'm not very familiar with FTP, but try inserting a CLOSE command between the PUT and QUIT statements.

Hope this helps. No doesn't help, It's like the put command isn't being monitored because its in an external file, I guess what I'm asking is either can I put a switch or something to make it wait til the put command has completed OR is there any WAY of putting the COMMANDS in the bat file without needing user input???
I was able to find this on the Web which may be helpful.

Good luck.
