Hi Squashman and foxidrive - I tried using the way you mentioned, it worked but using -n and -i options i am not able to see logs at all. I can only see below in log file: open 10.1.1.1 user global123 bin myfile.txt myfilenew.txt quit So even if file was ftp'd but no logs are generated at all. So y...

OK. I will tell you the exact process.However i can not mention server name, user id and password due to copyright issues. I hope you understand that. This is what i am trying to do: There is a tool called IBM WTX, basically a application which does some other processing apart from executing this ba...

I have no idea what could be wrong with your system. I literally generate hundreds of FTP logs every day with the automation I do. I have never seen the log file not come out correctly Thanks Squashman for being patient and suggesting so many solutions! I will have to look for some other approach t...

Hi Squashman and foxidrive - I tried using the way you mentioned, it worked but using -n and -i options i am not able to see logs at all. I can only see below in log file:

open 10.1.1.1
user global123

bin
myfile.txt myfilenew.txt
quit

So even if file was ftp'd but no logs are generated at all.

Try this in your script file. I have seen several FTP servers that don't like it when you don't specify the USER command. As you can see in my examples I always use it. I am not sure if that is why you are seeing INVALID COMMAND errors. open 10.1.1.1 USER global123 globnew bin put myfile.txt myfile...

Batch File:demo.bat ftp -i -n -s:"D:\New\temp.txt" >"D:\New\logs.txt" Contents of temp.txt open 10.1.1.1 global123 globnew bin put myfile.txt myfilenew.txt quit When demo.bat is executed then logs.txt consist of: Invalid command. Invalid command. open 10.1.1.1 global123 globnew b...

ftp -n -s:"C:\ftpscript.txt"

Then try it without the -I and -N option.
ftp -s:"C:\ftpscript.txt"

I did that already.1) is not working..2) It works but logs details are not sufficient.

Thanks Squashman for being patient! I dont know why its not working for me I think in my case file is posted to server via firewall. So that might be the reason -n -i options are not recognizable. Not sure though...I am still thinking how i can figure out if file is ftp'd or not from the logs..

YES It didnt work! i renamed my file to demo.bat and using below command: ftp -i -n -s:"C:\temp.txt" >"C:\logs.txt" When demo.bat is executed then i could see below in my logs.txt file: Invalid command. Invalid command. open 10.1.1.1 user password bin Please login with USER and ...

Is it a problem? I dont think so because in that case it would not have worked with ftp -d option as well. ftp -i -n -s:"C:\temp.txt" >logs.txt Your batch file doesn't know the difference between FTP.EXE and FTP.BAT because you are not specifying a file extension. If a batch file needs to...

If you are running it from a batch file what is the name of the batch file.

I am running it from a batch file. The name of batch file is ftp.bat

1) Windows does not have a native SFTP client. 2) Doesn't matter if it is a FTP or SFTP command line client. You would log them the same way. Thanks! I thought SFTP is secure and that's why i thought of using it. Using the native ftp client i am not able to get "Transfer completed" messag...

All my FTP commands are launched from batch files like this. ftp -n -i -s:"E:\PathtoBatchFiles\ClientNameFTPscript.scr" >"E:\PathtoLogFiles\ClientNameFTPscript.txt" I tried using this command but it says invalid parameter. I am not sure why -n is not working Paste in the exact c...

In your last thread somebody asked you for information, and you chose to ignore it. You still want a log file - and this seems to be the primary goal according your your last thread . http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6211 See here: http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&...
