Batch FTP Folder uploading

Question

Hey I am trying to upload a entire folder to a webpage and I use this batch-file code:

;@echo off
;(for /f "usebackq delims=" %%A in ("%~f0") do call
echo.%%A)>"%temp%\%~n0.ftp"
;ftp -i -s:"%temp%\%~n0.ftp"
;goto:EOF

open example.com
username
password
cd public_html/Clients
bin
mput %userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\MSHashes\*
bye

But it doesn't upload the folder in %Appdata%\MSHashes.
What do I need to do to upload a entire folder to FTP?
Please answer, because I need this.

Solution

Below is a sample of some syntax you can use as a template to build the FTP commands with and then execute the script afterwards.

You just need to

1. create the directory on the FTP server first with the mkdir command.
2. optionally change the client root directory with the lcd command
3. upload the files to the newly created folder you made with mput or put commands

Batch Script Example

SET ftptmpfile=%temp%\~tmpFTPprocess123.tmp
IF EXIST "%ftptmpfile%" DEL /Q /F "%ftptmpfile%"

:FTPScriptBuild
(
ECHO open example.com
ECHO username
ECHO password
ECHO prompt
ECHO binary
ECHO cd public_html/Clients
ECHO mkdir /MSHashes
ECHO cd public_html/Clients/MSHashes
ECHO mput "%userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\MSHashes\*.*"
ECHO dir
ECHO bye
)>>"%ftptmpfile%"

Raw FTP Commands

open example.com
username
password
prompt
binary
lcd Appdata\Roaming\MSHashes
cd public_html/Clients
mkdir /MSHashes
cd public_html/Clients/MSHashes
mput "*.*"
dir
bye
