[closed] up vote 2 down vote favorite 2 I have a .bat file that runs a ftp script, grabbing files from the server and copying them to my machine. Works great. I now want this .bat file to report if any of these errors occured. If you could point me in the right direction to the general idea of how to ftp batch script do this, that would be great.

Even if you deal with the return codes its hard to know exactly what went wrong. I'd recommend using PowerShell or Python for the job instead. Both these have access to an FTP client that can be dynamically controlled. You'll know exactly whats worked or failed, and be able to deal with the issue then and there. Simple Example in PS $url = "ftp://ftp.foo.com/bar.txt" $destination = "c:\foo\bar.txt" $wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient $wc.DownloadFile($url, $destination) If you need to do more complicated things I'd start by looking at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229718.aspx Those examples are in

The error could be caused by the FTP server being down. Right now, nothing is returned to indicate http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10686730/ms-dos-ftp-command-in-a-batch-file-raise-error an error condition occured. Please can someone advise? Thanks! :) windows error-handling batch-file ftp ms-dos share|improve this question asked May 21 '12 at 14:02 Learner74 6839 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote Maybe too late, but it is possible. I'm running the following script to check for errors in the text that's returned by the FTP script. If you know the error text that's returned by FTP, then that's what you look for with the 'find' command. The ftp commands are in a file called ftp.inp, just check out the help of FTP on how to use '-s'. ftp -s:ftp.inp > ftp.log find /I /C "not connected" ftp.log IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FTPERROR find /I /C "not found" ftp.log IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FTPERROR find /I /C "failed" ftp.log IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FTPERROR REM --- no errors found GOTO :END :FTPERROR REM --- error found :END share|improve this answer answered Jul 19 '12 at 4:40 Martijn S 212 Thanks for the reply Martin, I eventually solved this by using a third-party FTP command-line client called WinSCP portable winscp.net/eng/download.php , this can raise several error codes upon exit. –Learner74 Jun 4 '13 at 14:34 add a comment| up vote 1

This text string is not the message that is usually shown on the ScriptFTP window below ftp script error each command, it is a short text value that the script can internally handle to check if the execution of the command was successful or not. If everything goes well it will return the text "OK", if something goes wrong you will get an error code. Evaluating this return value and taking the appropiate measures you can make your file transfers fault-tolerant. In the following example the output of OPENHOST is stored in a variable called $result. If $result is "OK" we will continue, if $result is different from "OK" we will show a message and try to reconnect to the FTP server. # This is a label. It marks a point in the script. # We will use it to return to this point if a # connection attempt fails. :connect # Shows a message PRINT("_____Connecting_____") # Connect to server. The return value of OPENHOST # is stored in $result $result=OPENHOST("myserver.com","me","13579") # Check if $result is different from "OK" IF($result!="OK") PRINT("Cannot connect! Trying again.") # Jump to the label :connect to retry # the connection GOTO :connect END IF # Once this point is reached ScriptFTP # will be connected to the server. # Transfer the files. GE
