ftp_novice -> FTP batch file for auto download (6/21/2007 13:43:04)
|
Hi All,
I use Filezilla as the FTP client. My FTP server is Windows NT [admin'ed by someone sitting in another state]. Now its set in a way, that the FTP client connects with the server in the passive mode. And server assigns me new data port numbers for each command request.
I am trying to create a DOS based batch file that will automate the file transfer for me. Now what happens is the following -
C:\>ftp xx.xx.xx.xx
Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (xx.xx.xx.xx:(none)): anon
331 Password required for anon
Password:*****
230 User anon logged in.
ftp> cd LIB
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
Aborting any active data connections...
425 Can't open data connection.
ftp> quote pasv
227 Entering Passive Mode (xx,xx,xx,xx,7,55).
ftp>
ftp> quote LIST
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
ftp>
I have to open another command promt and telnet with server ip and port (7*256+55=1847) -
C:\ telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 1847
and this telnet window will show me the list.
If i have to automate this process, each time I'll have to use new dataport and open telnet to do my job. Has anyone been through this before?
Can someone suggest me from their experience on how to automate this process if FTP server is set up in passive mode.
