I want a batch file to ftp to a server, read out a text file, and disconnect. The server requires a user and password. I tried

Using the Windows FTP client you would want to use the -s:filename option to specify a script for the FTP client to run. The documentation specifically points out that you should not try to pipe input into the FTP client with a < character.

Execution of the script will start immediately, so it does work for username/password.

However, the security of this setup is questionable since you now have a username and password for the FTP server visible to anyone who decides to look at your batch file.

Either way, you can generate the script file on the fly from the batch file and then pass it to the FTP client like so:

Replace servername, username, and password with your details and the batch file will generate the script as temp.txt launch ftp with the script and then delete the script.

If you are always getting the same file you can replace the %1 with the file name. If not you just launch the batchfile and provide the name of the file to get as an argument.

This is an old post however, one alternative is to use the command options:

the -n will suppress the initial login and then the file contents would be: (replace the 127.0.0.1 with your FTP site url)

This avoids the user/password on separate lines

You need to write the ftp commands in a text file and give it as a parameter for the ftp command like this:

I am not sure though if it would work with username and password prompt.

Each line of a batch file will get executed; but only after the previous line has completed. In your case, as soon as it hits the ftp line the ftp program will start and take over user input. When it is closed then the remaining lines will execute. Meaning the username/password are never sent to the FTP program and instead will be fed to the command prompt itself once the ftp program is closed.

Instead you need to pass everything you need on the ftp command line. Something like:

Use

as decribed in Windows XP Professional Product Documentation.

The file name that you have to specify in place of FileName must contain FTP commands that you want to send to the server. Among theses commands are

• open Computer [Port] to connect to an FTP server,
• user UserName [Password] [Account] to authenticate with the FTP server,
• get RemoteFile [LocalFile] to retrieve a file,
• quit to end the FTP session and terminate the ftp program.

More commands can be found under Ftp subcommands.

Curl Command To Download File From Ftp

You can use PowerShell as well; this is what I did. As I needed to download a file based on a pattern I dynamically created a command file and then let ftp do the rest.

Submitted on 7/12/2019 Review title of Ron BurgandySERIOUSLY Garbage CRASHES EVERY SINGLE TIMEI have given this an chance because I have many photos to make into video however even when I try to use the clunky junky interface and do add my few files even if I try two it crashes and they can be tiny files of all types and nothing works. Best free time lapse software. I am trying to get a refund and make sure others know that like most everything in the Microsoft store its made by some horrible coding nerd with no tact and doesn't run sorry not sorry just honest about my OPINION.

I used basic PowerShell commands. I did not need to download any additional components. I first checked if the requisite number of files existed. If they I invoked the FTP the second time with an Mget.I run this from a Windows Server 2008 connecting to a Windows XP remote server.

How To Download Ftp Files

Here's what I use. In my case, certain ftp servers (pure-ftpd for one) will always prompt for the username even with the -i parameter, and catch the 'user username' command as the interactive password. What I do it enter a few NOOP (no operation) commands until the ftp server times out, and then login:

I have written a script as *.sh file
