Subject: Batch FTP Fails, Interactive works - what to change?
Greetings all,
I am new to FTP, and I am tying to set up a batch FTP using a script file.
When I run interactive - the FTP works fine. I am not prompted for
anything, it just starts loading the files from the remote system to my IFS
directory, When I submit to batch I get a message that "Program contains
commands only valid when run interactively."
Here are the entries from my script file;
user userid password
namefmt 1
lcd /ptfcatalog
ascii
cd /ibmpath/to/ptf/images/c
get ftpSF99539.txt
get ilstSF99539.txt
binary
get SF99539_1.bin
get SF99539_2.bin
get SF99539_3.bin
get SF99539_4.bin
get SF99539_5.bin
get SF99539_6.bin
quit
I have tried with and with out a blank line to start, and both fail on
batch. I look in the log file, and there are no entries.
Anyone run into this before and/or can help me?
Thanks!
