One cmd line with all the code inline

#1 Post by hacxx » 08 Aug 2018 12:08

Hi,

I'm trying to build a batch file using just one line for FTP access. For this i'm using "cmd /c" as a starter and then the commands are in front of it. I have tried diferent ways but i can't seem to find a way to make it work. If i try one long string i can't execute it. If i use the ">" to save to a file the code needs to be formated with a break line separating each command i have tried \n, &, &&, echo. between others and nothing. Any tips?

I read here in the forum about EOL code but i couldn't figure it out!

Thanks

Since nobody replied yet I suspect nobody really understood what you're trying to do. Neither do I. You should post the lines of code that you tried. Maybe it'll get more clear then.

Yeah, I'm really unclear on why you're trying to do this outside of it either being homework or you just want to know if it's possible.

Also, chaining FTP commands has nothing to do with batch and everything to do with FTP itself. That said, if & didn't work for you, nothing will, since the "correct" way to do an FTP one-liner is to make a temporary file with each command on a separate line.

I have retried the & and it did work but it didn't execute (see the post above)

I think you would need & Text.bat at the end to execute the bat file. But why? Just echo the ftp commands to a script file and the execute ftp.exe with the script file.

I think you could also chain the ftp commands inside parentheses and pipe to ftp.

(Echo open server & echo username & echo password & echo put file.txt)|ftp.exe

Don't mix up Batch and FTP. You can pass an FTP script to ftp.exe but you cannot have Batch code in an FTP script and then assume that it will automatically work. Those are two languages even if the commands are pretty similar.
There are possibilities to have both in one script:

But I'd prefer to write the FTP script to an extra file.
