i am creating ftp .cmd and .bat files in order to goto the Unix server and get some files.
The second directory is Version-specific (ie: build/Build_1_2_3)
So, I was wondering how to pass a parameter into the command-file in order to goto the correct Build directory. I know how to do this in Unix-shell scripting, but not for Windows command files.
ie: cd build/$VERSION
Thanks.
cd build\%version%
how do I pass that in?
Didn't seem to work.
output:
Code:C:\ftp>start_ftp.bat Build_1_2_3
C:\ftp>echo off
" starting ftp process"
ftp> open 192.168.0.71

"process complete"
My files:
.bat file is:
build_files.cmd is:Code:echo off
echo " starting ftp process"
ftp -s:c:\ftp\build_files.cmd %version% -i -d
echo "process complete"
echo on
Code:open 192.168.0.71
wlserver
password
ascii
cd /export/wlserver/kaolin/build/%version%
lcd c:\ftp
mget masselectric_gw.war
quit
Sorry, missunderstood, you cannot pass parameters in ftp.
But you can dynamically create ftp script in .bat before running ftp like
Code:echo off
echo " preparing ftp script"
echo open 192.168.0.71 >c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo wlserver >>c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo password >>c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo ascii >>c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo cd /export/wlserver/kaolin/build/%1 >>c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo lcd c:\ftp >>c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo mget masselectric_gw.war >>c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo quit >>c:\ftp\build_files.cmd
echo " starting ftp process"
ftp -s:c:\ftp\build_files.cmd -i -d
echo "process complete"
echo on
Thanks.
That is what I did and it worked just fine.
