Batch File Error Handling Tutorial
FTP command in a batch file: raise error up vote 3 down vote favorite 1 In MS-DOS (Windows 2003 R2 Server), I have a batchfile which has the FTP command in it, eg:- FTP.CMD ------- cd d:\extracts\scripts ftp -i -s:ftp_getfile.ftp exit I ftp batch file commands would like the batch file to raise and return an error level 1 for failure instead of 0, so that the calling batchfile can deal with it. The error could be caused by the FTP server being down. Right now, nothing is returned to indicate 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 ftp error codes 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 down vote As per this question: How to capture the ftp error code in batch scripts? The windows FTP command doesn't support this behaviour (or PASV mode) and is basically next to useless. You might want to try NcFtp instead. It's free, small, portable, and has decent error codes. share|improve this answer answered May 21 '12 at 21:44 aboy021 1,1131121 ok, seems the stock FTP on Windows just can't do it. I'll try NcFtp instead! Thanks! –L

each other. Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up How to capture the ftp error code in batch scripts? up vote 4 down vote favorite 1 I have a somewhat related, but different questions here. I have http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10686730/ms-dos-ftp-command-in-a-batch-file-raise-error a batch script (*.bat file) such 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 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7158295/how-to-capture-the-ftp-error-code-in-batch-scripts happen, I want my bat file return 1 ( exit 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
Checking and Running as Scheduled Tasks ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Paul Adams (ex-MSFT)June 6, 201016 0 0 0 Batch files may be considered “old hat” by a lot of people (or a complete mystery to the younger ones!) but they are sometimes still the easiest way to execute simple https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mrsnrub/2010/06/06/batch-files-basic-error-checking-and-running-as-scheduled-tasks/ jobs as they have practically no requirements other than a command shell process to run within https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26509565/FTP-Batch-file-with-error-handling.html – yes there is a strong probability that a script could achieve an identical (or at least equivalent) result, but the fact is that it will be more complex and therefore longer to create and administer. Something that trips up a fair number of people is the difference between double-clicking a .BAT file and scheduling it as a task to run at a certain time, on ftp error a trigger or on a schedule – it can seem that the batch file just simply does not run at all, and the return code sent back to the Task Scheduler is often 0x2, “path not found”, even though the file most definitely is there. When you double-click a .BAT or .CMD file through Explorer, a cmd.exe process is started to provide the environment in which it will run. The credentials used are your own (or more correctly, inherited from the Explorer ftp error checking process). The “current working directory” is set to that where the batch file lives. When the Task Scheduler service starts the same batch file it actually invokes an instance of cmd.exe (as SYSTEM impersonating the user whose credentials are defined in the task) to carry out the process and waits for it to exit with a return code – the current working directory for this process is not that of the batch file, but that of cmd.exe itself. i.e. %windir%\system32 Now, if your batch file assumes that you launched it through Explorer or from an existing command prompt with the current working directory set to its own location, you can run into problems. One simple way to verify if your batch file should work as a scheduled task is to call it from an existing cmd.exe process from a different current working directory (such as your profile, or a temp folder). Be very, very careful if your batch file does any kind of file deletion – especially if wildcards are involved – you do not want to be in the wrong context when doing this (especially not a system folder or your profile!). The trick is to do some basic error checking at the start and throughout your batch files, and possibly even some rudimentary logging by piping messages to a file. One simple solution is to have the batch file set the current working directory itself as one of its first tasks.
