Hi all, I need to ftp a file (with a variable filename) to a remote server. I can automate this process with a constant filename, but how do I pass in a filename on the fly? Say my batch script is called ftpbat. I want to be able to run this: ftpbat variablefilename Using %1 etc doesn't work once an ftp session has been opened... And if I put the ftp commands in an ancillary file, I'm unable to pass in the params from ftpbat... Any ideas? Thanks.

narnar2000: try the Programming forum.

That qualifies as a programming question? Not the programming I know...

I was given the answer (all credit to Jag on this one). The solution is to pipe the commands to another file first (called ftp.ftp here): echo open ftp.somedomain.com>> ftp.ftp echo username>> ftp.ftp echo password>> ftp.ftp echo bin>> ftp.ftp echo put %1>> ftp.ftp echo quit>> ftp.ftp ftp -s:ftp.ftp Thanks again to Jag for this one.
