I recently needed a script that would FTP a file from a Windows server on a set schedule, log the results of the transfer, retry a few times in the event of a failure, and report any failures immediately. Here it is.
The name of this script if FTPER.BAT. This script makes use of the following executables (not counting standard shell commands in Windows): sleep.exebmail.exe
It also requires a file that contains the actual FTP commands, named ftper.ftp in this file. An example of this would be:
OPEN myftpserver.org
myusername mypassword
binary
MPUT "C:\Program Files\Some Directory\file.xml"
BYE
Any valid FTP commands will work in this file, such as lcd, ls, etc.
And now for the script:
@echo off
cls
echo.

echo '' File: ftper.bat
