I'm having some trouble FTPing using batch. Here's what I have: --test.bat---------------- @echo off cls ver > info.txt ipconfig /all >> info.txt tasklist >> info.txt pause ftp -s:commands.txt pause exit --commands.txt-------------- open ftp.ninja.astahost.com user ninja *my password* cd public_html put info.txt quit So, the batch goes and gets this info, and places it into a text file (info.txt) and then it opens up ftp.exe and tells it to see commands.txt (which I'm going to have generated by the initial batch eventually). But for some reason it won't FTP for me. If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate that. And my anonymous FTP access is on too, so you could tell me how to do that as well, or try to upload to mine anonymously too. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi ninja, i found nothing wrong with your batch file. However, you should know that tasklist is not internal command. You must have tasklist.exe or .com or .bat or whatever executable extension. You can comment it out or delele that line if you're not so sure about it.

You files shoud be like below and could run 99% ( it runs on my computer).

--test.bat----------------
@echo off
cls
ver > info.txt
ipconfig /all >> info.txt
tasklist >> info.txt <-- delete this line if not sure about tasklist command
pause
ftp -s:commands.txt
pause
exit

--commands.txt--------------
open ftp.ninja.astahost.com
ninja <-- remove user, just put username here
*my password* <-- your password here, remove this line if login as anonymous
cd public_html
put info.txt
quit



My advice is not to put your server at risk as allow anonymous user to update files.

If you have any problem regarding this, feel free to put them here. Hey, dont forget attach error message or whatever screen message you got as the error happens.

Cheers
