FTP login move every 5mins

[Guest]

Hi all,

Im looking for a command I can enter to a bat file (if possible) thats will
sit on an FTP site and every 5min tranfer a file from FTP to an another drive
on the newtwork that is mapped to the ftp site?

Not sure if this is possible

Any help wouldbe great.

Cheers
Patrick

How about: (untested)

if exist stopftp.flg del stopftp.flg
:wait5m
set yNL=60
:wait5s
ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 >nul
if exist stopftp.flg del stopftp.flg
set /a yNL=%yNL%-1
if %yNL% GTR 0 goto wait5s
:: Do the FTP transfer here...
goto wait5m

The playing with "stopftp.flg" allows you to create a file "stopftp.flg" to
terminate the batch cleanly.
Using PING N delays for (N-1) seconds
Consequenly, the inner-loop executes each 5 secs, and the Number of Loops
required is 60

There's a nice example of command-line ftp scripting on this web page,
showing how to enter the username and password:
