Hi, I'm trying to have a .bat file set up as a scheduled task to upload files via ftp and then, if successful, delete the files locally. I have the automated upload set up correctly, but am having difficulty trying to figure out how to check if the FTP upload was successful and then delete locally. I'm also open to other scripts to do this in Scheduled Tasks. Any ideas?

untested ================================ :: checks to see if files in mylist got ftp'd :: if so, delets local files @echo off > ft.do echo o mysite.com >> ft.do echo user >> ft.do echo pass >> ft.do echo bin >> ft.do echo ls >> ft.do echo bye ftp -s:ft.do > filelist for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (mylist) do ( find /i "%%a" < filelist > nul if not errorlevel 1 del %%a ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

if you want to have better error control for FTP process, its better off using dedicated ftp libraries which you can find in languages such as Perl/Python. here's an example Python script. Its not a full solution to your problem, but just to illustrate the idea. from ftplib import FTP import os def upload(ftp, file): try: ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024) except Exception,e: print "Error uploading. ",e #check upload error message os.chdir("localpath") ftp = FTP('localhost') ftp.set_debuglevel(3) try: ftp.login("") except Exception, e: print "error ",e else: for files in os.listdir("."): if os.path.isfile(files): upload(ftp,files)
