:loop
ftp -s:"ftp.txt"
ping -n 30 localhost >nul
goto :loopThanks for the reply...I got the error below after transfer completed. After 30 seconds ftp can override over that file again. Is something wrong here? Please help. Thanks

ftp -s:"ftp.txt"

Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be USED interactively.

FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-G] [-s:filename] [-a] [-A] [-x:sendbuffer] [-r:recvbuf
fer] [-b:asyncbuffers] [-w:windowsize] [host]

-v Suppresses display of remote server responses.
-n Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
transfers.
-d Enables debugging.
-g Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the
commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
-a Use any local interface when binding data connection.
-A login as anonymous.
-x:send sockbuf Overrides the default SO_SNDBUF size of 8192.
-r:recv sockbuf Overrides the default SO_RCVBUF size of 8192.
-b:async count Overrides the default async count of 3
-w:windowsize Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 65535.
host Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote
host to connect to.

Notes:
- mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
- Use Control-C to abort commands.The batch file you posted needed the login info changed - did you do that?

You SAID the error occurred *after* the transfer succeeded - that is unlikely with the code shown.Thanks...but i checked unix server with command "ls -ltr" didn't see new time stamp every 30 seconds just same file. Seem like didn't loop resend again after 30 seconds.

This line should make it exit when it is 1pm after the last run. The time format in your system might be 12 hour time in which case you will have to change the 13 to 1

for /f "delims=:" %%a in ("%time%") do if %%a EQU 13 goto :EOF

See below:

echo binary
echo put "%file%"
echo close
echo quit
)> "ftp.txt"

:loop
for /f "delims=:" %%a in ("%time%") do if %%a EQU 13 goto :EOF
ftp -s:"ftp.txt"
ping -n 30 localhost >nul
goto :loopAwesome....really nice. Thanks very much for this.
