Well, my ftp server wont l me make a directory for sum reason (and yes i use the admin account). When i try to make one it goes:
500 Command not recognised
How can i set it up so it will be able to? if thats possible.
And also, how can i write an ftp script with a batch file and/or VBS?
What's the command you gave to create the directory?
On what OS is the ftp client running? When you say VBS I'm assuming windows..
ftp -s:myscript
myscript is just a flat ASCII file, they're just the commands you would normally type on the ftp prompt.Quote:
Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.
FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g] [-s:filename] [-a] [-w:windowsize] [-A] [host]
-v Suppresses display of remote server responses.
-n Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
transfers.
-d Enables debugging.
-g Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the
commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
-a Use any local interface when binding data connection.
-A login as anonymous.
-w:buffersize Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
host Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote
host to connect to.
Notes:
- mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
- Use Control-C to abort commands.
what is the exact syntax you are using to create the directory?
what is the ftp server software?
Well to make a directory, i use "mkdir <directory name> " and my ftp is VxWorks
Don't use spaces in the directory name or quote the directory name..
Or the command may have been disabled.. Try "help" to see the commands available.
