Windows命令行中的mget命令FTP客户端不下载文件

Question

I'm trying to achieve something simple - other solutions I've found have not worked for me.

I want to use the windows scheduler to run a cmd file, to FTP to a server, and download all of the *.csv files in the default directory, the local directory the file is being run from.

Files in the remote directory are:

20161101.csv ... 20161129.csv

I created this file, and called it d.ftp:

open 123.345.456.567
username
password
binary
mget *.csv
disconnect
quit

I then go to the windows command (CMD) and type:

ftp -s:d.ftp

All that happens is I see:

ftp> open 123.345.456.567
Connected to 123.345.456.567
220
User (123.345.456.567:(none)):
331 Password required for username (actual username is shown on the screen)

230 User username logged in.
ftp> binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> mget *.csv
200 Type set to I.
mget 20161101.csv? disconnect
mget 20161102.csv? quit
ftp>

No files are copied to my local directory, no CSV files are transferred.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

You have to use the prompt command or the -i command-line switch to suppress the confirmation prompts ( mget 20161101.csv? ) before each file transfer.

open 123.345.456.567
username
password
binary
prompt
mget *.csv
disconnect
quit
