I'm trying to automate an ftp upload with a Batch script using the ftp -s:commandsfile.ftp command, at first everything seems OK: ftp server sends welcome message, username is automatically introduced, but when ftp asks for a password, nothing is introduced and all other commands that commandsfile.ftp sends return a "530 You aren't logged in" error:
Connected to ns12.dnchosting.com.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 5 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 16:02. Server port: 21.
220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
User (ns12.dnchosting.com:(none)):
331 User [USERNAME] OK. Password required
530 Login authentication failed
Login failed.
This is the commandsfile.ftp file:
open web12.dnchosting.com
[USERNAME]
[PASSWORD]
lcd
cd afolder
mkdir anotherfolder
mput "*.*"
disconnect
bye
And this the batch script:
ftp -i -s:commandsfile.ftp
Why is CMD not introducing the password?
