How do I rename a file to user input and then FTP it, all from a batch file?
I’ve done the ftp step a lot. Your batch file would contain a line like this: FTP -s:C:\misc\login.ftpand C:\misc\login.ftp would contain this (plug in appropriate values for username and password): OPEN ourserver.ourcompany.com username password ASCII HASH CD /adirectory PUT C:\tmp\ebillpmt.rpt ebillpmt.txt BYEAs the file is being transferred, a hashmark (‘#’) will be displayed every time a “chunk” (1K, 512 bytes, etc.) is transferred. You could end your batch file with something like ECHO Finished! if you wanted. As far as the input goes, as I recall, there’s no DOS command for reading from the keyboard. You could, as mphuie suggested, start the batch file with a parameter and refer to it in your batch file as %%1. Send me a message if you’d like more info – I’ll be glad to help.
