Creating an executable file to download a file, then upload the file to new location

Question

I'm having trouble finding the correct method to accomplish a relatively simple task

I'm trying to make a simple executable that I can run/schedule to run.

That 1. Downloads a file from an intranet location (192.168.100.112/file.txt) 2. Uploads the new version file to web (fpt.website.com/docs/file.txt)

There are 5 pdf files that auto generate on an intranet and I would like to keep the web versions updated. Ideally create one executable that does all 5 files at once and have the ability to do each one individually.

thanks

Answer 1

Use the windows ftp command. Is has a -s option for providing ftp "scripts". Basically just add all the commands you need to accomplish your task to something.txt for example:

open 192.168.100.112 
get file.txt
close
open fpt.website.com
cd docs
put file.txt
close
bye

then do:

ftp -s:something.txt

You could make ftp scripts, one for each upload. Then put all five commands in a batch file
