I have written a batch file that calls an FTP script that downloads files from multiple folders from a remote server. When I execute the batch file it works perfectly. However when I schedule it with task scheduler it pulls all the files down except for those in one specific folder.
I've checked permissions, there are no issues there. The relevant parts of the batch file and FTP script are below. For the purposes of this question I've shortened both. So the question would be why does it download from the "RWSmith" directory but not the "TrimarkFoodcraft" directory when run from Task Scheduler. I know that batch files are not case sensitive but I added the extra suffixes because the files do end in .DAT instead of .dat and they were not downloading.
Script and Batch File are on Windows Server 2008 R2 and the server it is downloading from is Windows Server 2003.
Batch File:
ftp -i -s:ftpCommands.txt 0.0.0.0
FTP Script:
username
password
cd "AdamsBurch"</br>
lcd "C:\EDIScanner\DistributerEDIFiles\AdamsBurch"
mget *.dat
mdelete *.dat
cd \
cd "RWSmith"
lcd \
lcd "C:\EDIScanner\DistributerEDIFiles\RWSmith"
mget *.dat
mdelete *.dat
cd \
cd "TrimarkFoodcraft"
lcd \
lcd "C:\EDIScanner\DistributerEDIFiles\TrimarkFoodcraft"
mget *.dat
mget *.DAT
mdelete *.dat
mdelete *.DAT
close
bye
The FTP account might not be in the root directory. After connecting, use pwd to see what directory is current.
username
password
pwd
Instead of assuming the directories are off of the root, use relative references.
cd ..
cd "TrimarkFoodcraft"

If I use delete File_Name then it's working.I've also tried mdelete and rm. Please help me how can i delete all the files with .xlsx extension.
mdelete would have worked if you disabled prompting first.
ftp

Once FTP is open you are no longer at a command prompt. You are inside FTP. You need to use your batch file to write the ftp script,FTPInstructions.ftp in the following example. Then open ftp, telling it to run the script.
When you invoke the ftp.exe program to run the ftp script from the batch file you can redirect the ftp.exe console output to a log file and examine that log file for errors. You'll need to redirect both stdout and stderr. Something like this:
echo open 0.0.0.0>FTPInstructions.ftp
echo user UserName>>FTPInstructions.ftp
echo Password>>FTPInstructions.ftp
echo something>>FTPInstructions.ftp
echo something else>>FTPInstructions.ftp
.
.
echo bye>>FTPInstructions.ftp
ftp.exe -n -s:FTPInstructions.ftp>FTPSession.log 2>&1
You can then use FIND or FINDSTR in the batch file to locate any error messages output by ftp.exe in the FTPSession.log file.
I have made a simple batch script to back up a database, however when it runs it creates a empty file. This batch script is located in the same folder where mysqldump.exe is located. Following code:
#ECHO off
start /wait mysqldump.exe -u user -p "password" database > "Z:\sql-backup\"database-backup.sql
Any help would really help. New to Batch scripting.
I had used the below commands in batch file and it has worked properly.
First of all you should goto bin directory and issue the below mentioned mysqldump command. The same you can mention in the batch file as it is.
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
mysqldump -uroot -ppassword database > "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\Data\"Database_bkp.sql
How can I write a MS dos ftp batch file to:

need get, list and delete commands here??
quit
The ftp.exe program can take a sort of script file as input (that example uploads a file, but I guess to get the idea), so you should probably be able to create a script for the commands that you need to carry out, and then have a batch file launch ftp.exe with the appropriate input.
From one of my cuestions in other post.
user-name
user-password
lcd c:\localfolder-where-download
cd remote-folder
mget .
mdelete \\remote-folder\ .
quit
1 & 2 line , your credentials
3 - line local folder where the ftp can download the content
4- line - remote folder if needed
5- line - get al content to your local folder
6- line - delete all content from your remote folder
7- line quit!
you can download ncftpput/ncftpget. With ncftpget, there's option to remove remote files after downloading.
