md \\Servername\MyShare\MyDir
move c:\downloads\*.* \\Servername\MyShare\MyDir /Y

Where FTPScript.txt is something like:

mget *.*
close
quit

Where Paul mentioned "myusername" and "mypassword", he was meaning that
you should substitute a working username and password on your FTP
server. If you run Paul's script verbatim, it will fail as you posted.

Change myusername and mypass to the username and password you need to login
to the ftp server.

md \\Servername\MyShare\MyDir
move c:\downloads\*.* \\Servername\MyShare\MyDir /Y

Try this. Pick a free drive letter such as X then do this instead

net use x: \\Servername\ShareName yourusername yourpassword
md x:\MyDir
move c:\downloads\*.* x:\MyDir /Y
net use x: /delete

Where "yourusername" and "yourpassword" are the username and password you
need to use to access the share. Also set the permissions on the batch file
so no one who shouldn't see your password can't see it.

By mounting the remote share as a local drive you are loged in...

net use drive share user password

ftp -s:c:\FTPScript.txt
rem Pick a free drive letter such as X
net use x: \\Servername\ShareName yourusername yourpassword
md x:\MyDir
move c:\downloads\*.* x:\MyDir /Y
net use x: /delete

Where FTPScript.txt is something like:
o ftp.someserver.com
myusername
mypass
lcd c:\downloads
cd /remotedir/somedir
prompt
bin
mget *.*
close
quit

Where "yourusername" and "yourpassword" are the username and password you
need to use to access the share. Also set the permissions on the batch file
so no one who shouldn't see your password can't see it.
