Hi there.

I would like to be able to ftp files out using a batch/command script but prior to that I would like to be able to prompt a user at a DOS prompt asking them to enter a filename, then, that filename would be used to identify the file to ftp.

The ftp script is not a problem, but I have no idea on how you can prompt a user for a filename, if that is even possible?

thanks.
cg.

Here is what ive come up with so far... it does not work though.

SCRIPT 1:
@echo off

set /p filename=Please enter the filename.

echo %filename% is the file name you typed

put %filename% >> filename.txt

ftp -s:C:\BATCH\FTPSCRIPT.cmd

SCRIPT 2:
open x.x.x.x
userid
password
bin
prompt
var=findstr %filename% C:\Batch\easy.bat
rem put \\TORGFP2PNT\DBMktg\DAS\FTP\Mail_File\Mail_Files\%var%
bye

Okay... so here is the latest.

SCRIPT 1: (now working - places user input into a file)
@echo off

del filename.txt

set /p filename=Please enter the filename.

echo %filename% is the file name you typed

echo %filename% >> filename.txt

ftp -s:C:\BATCH\FTPSCRIPT.cmd

SCRIPT 2: (still not working - want to read from file and use as filename for ftp)
open x.x.x.x
userid
password
bin
prompt
type c:\BATCH\filename.txt > temp
put \\TORGFP2PNT\DBMktg\DAS\FTP\Mail_File\Mail_Files\%temp%
bye
