FTP Access over .bat file

[Blanky]

Hi,

I am trying to access to a ftp server using a Batch file i wrote. The Batch file works, if i start it manually. However, if i call it using the System exec.vi  (giving it to the command line input, as working directory the directory where the batch file is in) it doesnt work, I just see the cmd.exe window doin nothing (i can also not write anything in, its just black) i waited for some minutes but nothing happens, do you know what this could be ?

Or better, how i could solve it ?

thank you,

Blanky

Hi Blanky,

how do you call the system exec vi? Do you call it with "cmd /c" before your file name?

I tried it with the cmd /c and without, happens the same thing with both.

My .bat file looks like this:

ftp -i -A -s:ftp.txt xxx.xxxx.xxx

And in the ftp.txt are the commands he shall do.

I tried it also with putting the command directly in there (with cmd /c) and putting the paramters in the standard input input.

Hi Blanky,

try this. This works for me. It load the file, but because i have an empty file i get an error message, but it should work for you.

The path shall be a path to a directory (without the filename).

Hope it helps.

You may also want to consider looking at the old OpenG Internet Connectivity Tools so you don't have to resort to using System Exec.
