将批处理文件中的新文件从FTP服务器下载到Windows

Question

I am writing a batch file that downloads files from an FTP server.

Now, I want these files to be checked against the existing files, so that they are not being downloaded again. There are multiple files being downloaded and I do not know the name of the files that may be present in the FTP server.

Thanks

Just use any Window command-line FTP client that supports synchronization.

For example with WinSCP FTP client , you can use a batch file like:

@echo off
winscp.com /ini=nul /log=synchronize.log /command ^
    "open ftp://username:password@ftp.example.com/" ^
    "synchronize local C:\local\path /remote/path" ^
    "exit"

• Scripting command synchronize .

You can have WinSCP GUI generate a batch file template for you .
