Can't login to Unix using ftp commands

ETC Microsoft Windows
1

Hi.

I have this issue with an ftp command that I can run successfully using command prompt in Windows but when using a file to run the script unix will always return log in error messages.

Here is what I'm doing:
In command prompt I'm running this:
> ftp -s:c:\load_test_file.scr

And my file..."load_test_file.scr" is as simple as:
open 111.1.1.111
user
myuser
mypass
cd /path/path_folder
put c:\filename.csv
quit

Here is the whole output in command prompt:

C:\>ftp -s:c:\load_test_file.scr
ftp> open 111.1.1.111
Connected to 111.1.1.111.
220 <servername> FTP server ready.
User (111.1.1.111:(none)):
331 Password required for user.

530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> myuser
Invalid command.
ftp> cd /path/path_folder
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
ftp> put c:\filename.csv
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.

IS there anything that I may need to fix in my code?

Thanks in advance!

T.

The correct syntax is

user username password

Annihilannic.

The code worked fine :b: but I also had to add -n (Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.).
so the call now looks like this
ftp -n -s:c:\load_test_file.scr

Thanks,

If you want to use anonymous FTP, type anonymous or ftp as the username. You can type anything for the password, the convention is to give your email address.
