Ftp Error Codes
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 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 C#, but it should be pretty easy to convert them to PS. A script built in this way can list a dir and loop over the files downloading the ones you want. If there are any errors you can handle them on a per file level how you like. share|improve this answer answered Jan 21 '10 at 22:13 Cephas 1912 add a comment| up vote 2 down vote Here's how to do it in a BAT file.

I have a batch script (*.bat file) such http://superuser.com/questions/98903/how-do-i-check-the-outcome-of-a-ftp-script-with-a-bat-file as this: @ftp -i -s:"%~f0"&GOTO:EOF open ftp.myhost.com myuser mypassword !:--- FTP commands below here --- lcd "C:\myfolder" cd /testdir binary put "myfile.zip" disconnect bye Basically this is a script that uploads a zip file to a ftp site. My question is that, the upload operation can fail from time to time ( the remote ftp is not available, "myfile.zip" is non-existent, upload operation interrupted and whatnot), and when such unfortunate things happen, I want my bat file return 1 ( exit http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7158295/how-to-capture-the-ftp-error-code-in-batch-scripts 1). It would be great if my upload wasn't successful, the ftp would throw an exception ( yes, like exception in C++), and I would have a catch-all exception that catches it and then exit 1, but I don' think this is available in batch script. What is the best way to do what I need here? ftp batch-file share|improve this question asked Aug 23 '11 at 8:40 Graviton 36.1k99331509 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote You can redirect the output to a log file and when the ftp session is finished the file can be parsed. @ftp -i -s:"%~f0" > log.txt & GOTO :parse open ftp.myhost.com myuser mypassword !:--- FTP commands below here --- lcd "C:\myfolder" cd /testdir binary put "myfile.zip" disconnect bye :parse for /F "delims=" %%L in (log.txt) Do ( ... parse each line ) share|improve this answer answered Oct 6 '13 at 20:38 jeb 43k998118 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Your only option in batch files that I know of is to use the "IF ERRORLEVEL" syntax, which requires your ftp client to return a non-zero error code. http://www.robvanderwoude.com/errorlevel.php is a good reference guide. Unfortunately I do not if the standard Windows ftp client returns non-zero error codes, so you may have to code your own if this is a requirement. This link suggests that it does not return an error code, but provides

Scripting .NET & COM Library Screenshots Translations Support Forum Tracker History [[sftp_codes]] WinSCP Contents » Getting Started https://winscp.net/eng/docs/sftp_codes » Protocols » SFTP » SFTP Status/Error Codes SFTP status/error codes are a numerical codes that an SFTP server1) uses to indicate a result of a client request (i.e. a request sent http://support.2brightsparks.com/knowledgebase/articles/213469-common-ftp-errors-and-socket-error-messages by WinSCP to the server). WinSCP translates the numerical codes to a textual description for you, so you do not have to remember them. The SFTP server should also provide a meaningful ftp error textual description of the error itself. WinSCP includes the server-side description in its error message, labeled "Error message from server". Such description can include more detailed information than WinSCP can possibly deduce from the numerical code. Code 4 (Failure) Codes List References Code 4 (Failure) Note that not all servers use all codes. Most SSH/SFTP servers, including the most commonly used OpenSSH, support only SFTP ftp client error version 3 that defines only codes 0 to 8. Advertisements: These servers would generally use code 4 (Failure) for many errors for which there is a specific code defined in the later versions of SFTP protocol, such as: Renaming a file to a name of already existing file. Creating a directory that already exists. Moving a remote file to a different filesystem (HDD). Uploading a file to a full filesystem (HDD). Exceeding a user disk quota. In this case the server is required to provide meaningful description of the error itself (see above). Unfortunately, OpenSSH SFTP server uses always description "Failure". Is such case, there is unfortunately no way to tell a reason of the failure. Codes List Code Name Description Comment 0 OK Indicates successful completion of the operation. 1 EOF An attempt to read past the end-of-file was made; or, there are no more directory entries to return. 2 No such file A reference was made to a file which does not exist. 3 Permission denied The user does not have sufficient permissions to perform the operation. 4 Failure An error occurred, but no specific error code exists to describe
SyncBackFree,use a different FTP engine and so return less cryptic error messages. Article Detail When testing an FTP connection you may receive one of the following errors: Socket Error # 11001, Host not found: Check that the hostname or IP address has been entered correctly. Socket Error # 11004, Unable to connect: Check to make sure there isn't a trailing or leading space character on the FTP hostname. Also, enter the hostname or IP address, not a URL, e.g. if you have entered something like ftp://my.hostname.com/ then change it to my.hostname.com Socket Error # 10061, Connection refused: The hostname is correct, but either the FTP server is not listening on the port, there is no FTP server running, or a firewall is blocking the connection. Socket Error # 10093: This can happen when the network connection goes down, e.g. the FTP server is no longer connected to the network. Socket Error # 10038: If you are using Serv-U modify your FTP server settings so that the following are unticked: “Block anti time-out schemes”, “Block FTP_bounce attacks and FXP”, and “Block users who connect more than 6 times within 60 seconds for 30 minutes.”. You may also want to be sure you are using a passive connection. Socket Error # 10039: There may be a problem getting the IP address for the hostname. Socket Error # 10052: The host you were connected to crashed and rebooted. Try reconnecting at a later time. Unable to connect: Connection time out: The hostname may be incorrect or the FTP server may be behind a firewall. Unable to connect. Not logged in: The username and/or password is not correct. Unable to connect. Error connecting with SSL: The FTP server does not support SSL, or you are using implicit SSL and it only supports explicit, or the wrong port number is being used. If you are using implicit SSL then you probably need to use port 990 instead of port 21. When running a profile that connects to an FTP server you may receive the following errors in the log file: Scan failed (-1): Read Timeout: The connection to the FTP server was lost, and the attempts to reconnect failed, while trying to scan it for changes. Other common problems are: Can connect to the FTP server but when trying to choose the destination directory nothing happens for a very long time. Eventually the selection window appears but it’s empty: You need to enable Passive mode, or the FTP server is behind a firewall that is not configured correctly. Please note that many routers will i
