[Question] Send to > Ftp server? How to?

[Mikep7779]

Well, i want to be able to right click something and have it sent to my ftp server if i select it from the Send to option. I tried to make a shortcut that was linked to ftp://user:pass@ip/public_html/Junk/. That didnt work, nor did it show in the send to dialog when i added it to the send to folder. How can i fix this?

I don't know your batch file writing skills but reading this should give you a good starting point.

FTP Script

FTP.EXE XP built-in command is what will help you doing it.

i can get it to connect and GET a file

How can i get it to send a file without editing the cmd?

I can do

Send xxxx.xxx

But thats static, how can i get the file name to be dynamic

Go to this website and scroll down. It's the second one couting from the end.

I have not tryed it, so, this is just a hint.

I have downloaded the vbs script, it seems okay for what you want Panda67.

Recheck the page.

You will have to edit some of the VBS file to allow that file to be uploaded.

This color is where you have to add the file type

EG "log"

The array should look like this with what you want to upload

arASCII = Array("txt", "cgi", "pl", "htm", "html", "asp", "js", "vbs", "log")

' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * User Variables * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

' FTP address for the root of your web site:

' Example: "ftp.myISP.com" (check ISP help page for details) *

FTPaddr = "billsway.com"

' Local folder that equates to the root of your web site: *

BaseDir = "E:\BillsWay.com"

' FTP username for your site: *

UserName = "username"

' FTP password for your site: *

Password = "password"

' ---ADVANCED Setup Options--- *

' (If you don't know what ascii upload means, leave this alone!)

' Files to be uploaded in ASCII format: *

arASCII = Array("txt", "cgi", "pl", "htm", "html", "asp", "js", "vbs")

' Suppress Popup if upload succeeded (True or False, no quotes): *

ShowSuccess = False

' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Thanks, i was looking for that, i didnt know it would be in the options

[gunsmokingman]

Glad I was able to help

[Mikep7779]

Added log in there, same error ;/

[gunsmokingman]

Try replacing the path name \ with / that instead.

Eg ftp://YOUR_SERVER/A_SUB_FOLDER/

make sure the file path is in the same format.

[Mikep7779]

heres what i have

[\CODE]

' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * User Variables * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

' FTP address for the root of your web site:

' Example: "ftp.myISP.com" (check ISP help page for details) *

FTPaddr = "00000000"

' Local folder that equates to the root of your web site: *

BaseDir = "C:/Documents and Settings/Panda67/Desktop/"

' FTP username for your site: *

UserName = "00000000"

' FTP password for your site: *

Password = "000000000"

' ---ADVANCED Setup Options--- *

' (If you don't know what ascii upload means, leave this alone!)

' Files to be uploaded in ASCII format: *

arASCII = Array("rar","bmp","jpg","log","txt", "cgi", "pl", "htm", "html", "asp", "js", "vbs")

' Suppress Popup if upload succeeded (True or False, no quotes): *

ShowSuccess = False

' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

[\/CODE]

And now im getting it must be in that DIR or a sub dir ;/

[gunsmokingman]

BaseDir = "C:/Documents and Settings/Panda67/Desktop/"

That should be the ftp address not where it comming from, as that path is pass from the send to part,

which is later in the script.

BaseDir = "ftp://YOUR_SERVER/A_SUB_FOLDER/"
