You only put prompt in once. Its a toggle type of command. Just once
at the beginning of the script and any mput command from then on will
not prompt you for 'y/n' response.
It won't change your problem, I'm just trying to make your script a bit
more streamlined if you get the 150 error to correct.

Has this worked with this site before?

I've had a lot of issues with passive / nonpassive mode transfers. Some
servers don't like one or the other. Problem is that windows ftp will
only do it one way and not the other. If you have another program like
the freeware filezilla, you can set up the site and pick passive or not.
The only command line program I've seen that works in the mode
opposite to windows' ftp, is 'move it freely'. Its a free scriptable
ftp program just like windows ftp is.

I think someone else asked if you could do an 'ls' command. I've found
that if ls cannot be done, then this is a good indication of the passive
/ non-passive mode problem.

Just suggestions.

Hi,

Here it is the log of the ftp command line:

230 User geral logged in.
ftp> prompt
Interactive mode off .
ftp> cd db
250 CWD command successful.
ftp>
ftp> mput pobidos.mdb
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for pobidos.mdb.

and it stops in the last line» 150.........

I tried from another pc with the same internect connnection and it worked.

This pc has the firewall off.

I'm getting crazy.

Cheers,
Marco

Okay, but I think you need to try passive and non-passive modes and find
out if that setting works. I find it all the time at clients. I know,
I've read your comment that another pc works.

Can you teach me how to try to use in passive and non-passive mode?

Some example.

Thanks.
Marco

Downlod moveitfreely. You'll have to install it and set it for
whichever works. It has the option on the command line to set either.
But the bottom line is, windows ftp will do nothing for you to test,
it has no option.

This may all be for naught, but I've hit your roadblock at the LS many
times. It always fixed the issue. Okay, 99%.

That link is for version 5.0.
You can get it on softpedia here
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...t-Freely.shtml
version 3.1

I just loaded the 3.1 to review for myself.
It includes a 'passive' command that ftp.exe does not.
Its just like prompt, in that it toggles the passive transfer mode on
and off.
You should be able to run your same script but just replace ftp.exe in
the batch file with ftps.exe. And of course add the 'passive' command
in the script or not and see if either works.

Bottom line is ftps, is supposed to be identical to ftp. It also allow
secure transfer as well.

GREAT GREAT GTREAT.

How can I pay you??

But I have another problem. Now it puts the *.mdb in the server but with
zero bytes. But now with the passive mode it wok, don't hangs on the 150
command.

But, way the access files stays with zeros bytes?

Regards,
Marco

With FTP I've never found a way to do sub folders.
Obviously you can do:
cd x
mput *.*
cd ../y
mput *.*
cd ../z
mput *.*

If you want to do extensive subfoldering, a formal program like
filezilla will do that. Its free. Problem is, I don't think you can
schedule or write scripts. "THINK" I said.
I use filezilla to upload my web page. I can build a whole set of
folders and bing, just send the folder et al.

Not sure what you are doing and why the scripting. So take it from there.
