自动化批处理文件ftp下载

Question

Ok I have a pretty large batch program I am building to control power on over 100 DRAC ports and everything is built, tested, and working. However; I would like to have it automatically download plink.exe into the c:\\directory over ftp from the download website just by having coworkers answer either yes or no to a question regarding whether or not they have installed the program on their local machine so they don't have to browse for it.
Here is the section I've been working on:

SET /p ANSWER=Have you downloaded plink.exe (Y/N)?
if /i {%ANSWER%}=={Y} (goto :Continue)
if /i {%ANSWER%}=={N} (goto :Download)
:Download
echo Starting Plink.exe download!!!
timeout /t 2
Site from which I will be downloading:
ftp://ftp.blahblahblah.com
:Continue

Answer 1

To automate commands to the built in ftp.exe on windows you have to store them in a seperate file

:start
SET /p ANSWER=Have you downloaded plink.exe (Y/N)?
if /i {%ANSWER%}=={Y} (goto :Continue)
if /i {%ANSWER%}=={N} (goto :Download)
goto start

:Download
echo Starting Plink.exe download!!!
rem timeout using ping command
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000 >NUL

rem Write the commands - remove the ones you don't need, such as username and password
echo user USERNAME> ftpcmd.dat
echo PASSWORD>> ftpcmd.dat
echo bin>> ftpcmd.dat
echo get plink.exe>> ftpcmd.dat
echo quit>> ftpcmd.dat

rem run ftp command
ftp -n -s:ftpcmd.dat ftp.blahblahblah.com

rem delete the extra file.
del ftpcmd.dat

:Continue
