Google will find you the way to script an FTP transfer.

Your batch file will look like this:

@echo off
:loop

if exist file.txt (
ftp transfer here
)

ping -n 60 localhost >nul
goto :loop

That seems a little to simple!
So I would need to have it wait for the file, which could be several times a day, then copy it to another folder then ftp it out, then finally send me an email stating this was done. I have a copy of a batch i was working on but left it at the office computer.

so lets say the file i am waiting for is c:\temp\file.txt
once that file becomes available I would like to make a copy to c:\temp\backup\file.txt
then ftp that file out to a server \\server.com\filedepot\file.txt
then send me an email that this was successfully done. :/

Thanks in advance

While ftp is available in Windows, email sending is not. I thought I could
find one from cygwin, gnuwin32 or mingw. But they don't seem to have one.
Do you have any suggestion for a command-line email sending?

[foxidrive]

Yes, Blat is free.

With no indication of how the file arrives in the folder and although
the file may exist, it may not be finished being written. I would
suggest storing the file size, delay for a period, then check the file
size again before moving on to the copy and other stuff.

True. The OP would know if it is a large file, and a slow transfer like FTP.

If it is a fast file system copy then a simple delay before the copy command would solve that in normal operation.

Todd, I forgot about, how about setting up a trigger file? Could that help me? The file will be created locally after a process is ran. Guys I may be asking for a lot, but this is really my first batch file. Any help in setting this up is greatly appreciated. Thanks Foxidrive for your help so far.

@echo off
:loop
if exist "c:\temp\file.txt" (

copy c:\temp\file.txt c:\temp\store\file.txt

::ftp transfer here

::email command with errorlevel here (not sure how to setup with error level)
postie -host:<SMTPSERVER> -to:<TOADDRESS> -from:<FROMADDRESS> -s:"<SUBJECT>" -msg:"file.txt has been ftp'd"

)
ping -n 60 localhost >nul
goto :loop

Here's a bit more meat - Untested:

FTP.EXE doesn't return errorlevels so you will need to check the log file to see if the transfer succeeded.
If there is specific text showing that it succeeded then you can check that using FIND.EXE and modify the message being sent.


@echo off
set server_name=FTP.server.name
set username=username
set password=password
set remote_directory=/folder/abc/def
set "filename=c:\temp\file.txt"
set "target=c:\temp\store\"

:loop
if exist "%filename%" (

ping -n 60 localhost >nul

copy /b "%filename%" "%target%"

rem ftp transfer here
(
echo open %server_name%
echo %username%
echo %password%
echo cd %remote_directory%
echo put "%filename%"
echo quit
)>list.ftp

echo %date% %time% >>ftp.log
echo ========================= >>ftp.log
FTP -s:list.ftp >>ftp.log
echo ========================= >>ftp.log


rem email command with errorlevel here (not sure how to setup with error level)
postie -host:<SMTPSERVER> -to:<TOADDRESS> -from:<FROMADDRESS> -s:"<SUBJECT>" -msg:"%filename% has been ftp'd'"

del list.ftp 2>nul

)
ping -n 60 localhost >nul

Sure, that will be fine and eliminates guessing if the target file is
complete. So how is the target file being created? That may indicate if
a trigger file is even needed.

The Avira forum is not very descriptive and don't say it is malware or not, just that it will not be reclassified.
http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=128188


But many command line tools are flagged as malware these days: cmdow is one that is flagged as malware and I've had many others that I know are not malware - just that they can be used in tricky ways, as CMDOW can launch hidden windows etc.

The AV industry thrives on scaring people, hence the huge banners. They want people to buy the full product.

Well, it IS an emailer after all. Most antiviruses would catch it due to
hueristic scanning. It's smart for detecting what a program can do, but it
doesn't know s**t whether a program is legit or not. The reason why they
don't flag Thunderbird (or any other popular programs) is because they
have a database of known legit programs.

This is not an insurmountable problem as such, since the scanner
accepts user's exceptions.

The problem here is that since many scanners have the same (potential,
I'm not taking a stand) false positives, email sent by such a program is
likely to be rejected at the receiver's end by his/her ISP's scanners.

(Although this sideline is virus related, the discussion also relates to
command line tools and is thus on topic.)

I think the question should be: does it take longer than 10 seconds to create the file?


The code I posted delays for 60 seconds after detecting the file so it should be an ample delay.

You're initial warning is very much on topic and I thank you for going
to the trouble.

[Zaidy036]

Sorry, using an iPad while traveling and a typo.

I would look for two things for what you are trying (ftp) but not sure if
either are usable:
1. Use Start /Wait command for ftp
2. Watch Task Manager to see if a process is running during ftp that can
then be watched for completion. On a time delay basis using TIMEOUT

The program is 17kb size, and did his job well. I can`t realize how
somebody put some additonal evil code inside ;-)

I would like to determine if the unknown process that creates the file
can be wrapped in a script. ISTM, a wrapper would be preferable (if
possible) to leaving a separate batch process running all day. Once the
wrapper option is ruled out, I would then pursue the latter.

BTW, look at the code you posted again. Although OP wanted to COPY the
file to another location, the original file should be MOVEd or deleted.
If you do not remove the file from the original location, the loop will
copy/ftp the same file indefinitely, not only wasting cpu time, but
internet bandwidth as well.

[Leon Sharp]

Did I say copy... of course I meant move!! ;) testing now... i'll get back at ya.

Thanks

[Todd Vargo]

Better stick with adding the delete after ftp. Otherwise, if you replace
COPY with MOVE, you will either have to move it after the ftp or make
several other modifications for the ftp to work.

[Leon Sharp]

Todd, yup changed the copy to move. Thinking of adding another value to add date and or time to be able to keep the file but I ll double check if I need to keep it I may not have to which will make it much easier to just delete after FTP. I tested today seems to work okay I keep getting an error while doing the FTP portion. I ll test again and post log.

Thanks all for your input and help. I hope to help others as you helped me. I ll update post tomorrow.

That's *very* interesting. I didn't realize Windows actually has an email
library that doesn't need MAPI. It's probably part of IIS. It funny
though, the DLL use one of Outlook Express DLL file.

Win 7 doesn't have OE any longer.

Well done! Works for me, too. One small, but necessary correction, at

Is that right at the end of the file? The end of the file is an implied GOTO :EOF but it won't hurt if you add it.
Did you see some odd behaviour?



I added the del "%vbsfile%" below otherwise it leaves the VBS script laying around.

call :send %From% %To% %Subj% %Body% %Serv% %Auth% %Pass%
pause

del "%vbsfile%"
goto :EOF

Yes, I actually did. The VBS script did not come out complete. The XP
script failed to take the implied :EOF as an implied end of the
subroutine. It hung.

Already noticed that. I am currently writing a more involved, customized
shell for my own private use around the sending method you posted and
some of what I've found on the net. Thanks for the very useful "kernel".

Yup, I kept the copy for now and added the delete after the FTP, so far its working okay. I just need to add some error checking for the email portion and probably add date and time to end of file as well.

Nice.
That schema URL is just a configuration right?
It won't actually phone home, I presume.

Yet it works in Win 7 and would suggest that some other mechanism other than OE is involved.

I was curious, so I checked Win7. It's still the same - both x86
and x64.

CDOSYS.DLL > INETCOMM.DLL > MSOERT2.DLL

And they say it's more secure. -_-

The only difference is just the branding of MSOERT2.DLL.
WinXP: Microsoft Outlook Express RT Lib
Win7 : Microsoft Windows Mail RT Lib

FYI...

CDOSYS.DLL:
Microsoft CDO for Windows Library
(yeah, very descriptive...)
CDO stands for Collaboration Data Objects. Was OLE Messaging, then
Active Messaging.

INETCOMM.DLL:
Microsoft Internet Messaging API

Is there any risk for mail sending?

[foxidrive]

I don't see any. I doubt Microsoft is sending themselves a copy to check on what I am doing.

I am stuck with my laptop XP SP3 (with IE8) about

Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

producing for the above foxidrive's earlier line:
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

I don't have the same problem on my desktops. The probable cause is that
on my Laptop the OE is completely broken while on the desktops it is ok.
Now I should obviously reinstall OE on the laptop, but I have no idea
how. It no more comes with IE8 nor is it a separately installable utility.

I have also copied to the laptop C:\WINDOWS\System32\ the files
cdosys.dll inetcomm.dll msoert2.dll from the destops and tried to
regsvr32 them, but I get the a similar DLL errors.

Now what has this to do with batch? The same thing as before. Getting
the command-line batch solution to send the email.
