MS DOS ftp[Solved]

[mike2]

Hi...
Does anyone here know how to use the dos ftp?
I know how to connect but i dont know how to upload a file...
Lets say i have a picture in "E:\Documents and Settings\Mike\My Documents\My Pictures\" named smiley.gif
How do i upload this image on the ftp server?

Thanks!

Use the put command. It will ask for the path of the file on the local computer and the path of where you want to put it on the server.

ftp> put
Local file C:\myfile.txt
Remote file upload/myfile.txt

Hehe.
Thanks
That worked.
I was also doing it this way but it wasnt working because i was using spaces in the filename...
Now is there a way to create a batch file that will log me in to the FTP server, upload a file and then disconnect?
Maybe:

connect server.com
user UserName
pass PassWord
put blah.txt
disconnect
bye

?

Put all your FTP commands into a file - one on each line and run FTP as follows:

ftp -s:filename.txt

FTP will execute each line of the script one after another.

Hmmm ok thanks!
Also is there a way to use spaces in filenames?

Either enclose them in quotes or use the DOS file name format. I.e. take the first six characters insert a tlide and then a number. So "My Documents" becomes "MyDocu~1".
