How to? COPY ftp folder query

[Charles G]

copy /a: /e /f /g /md /s /u /w /[! ftp://abc.def.com/subfldr\* ] "ftp://abc.def.com/*"    c:\TESTING\abc.def.com\

Any idea why the subfldr\ folder is still being processed?

Any idea why the subfldr\ folder is still being processed?

One possibility: you may need to use subfldr/ (with forward slash). Figuring out when to use backslash and forward slash drives me crazy with FTP operations in TCC.

ftp://abc.def.com/fldr\afile.ext => C:\TCMD\MyPlugins\abc.def.com\fldr\afile.ext
TCC: C:\TCMD\UpdatePlugins.btm [4]  FTP protocol error: 550 Could not get file size. "/fldr\afile.ext"

after changing subfldr\ to subfldr/

Any ideas?

ftp://abc.def.com/fldr\afile.ext => C:\TCMD\MyPlugins\abc.def.com\fldr\afile.ext
TCC: C:\TCMD\UpdatePlugins.btm [4]  FTP protocol error: 550 Could not get file size. "/fldr\afile.ext"

It looks to me as though you still have a mix of forward and back slashes as directory separators (abc.def.com/fldr\afile.ext). I'm not sure that that is the cause of the problem, but it looks problematic.

I tried many things trying to get the exclude list working. Here's the last one that didn't work, followed by one that did work.

v:\> copy /[!/4plugins/X64/*] /s ftp://ilucky/4plugins/* v:\empty\
ftp://ilucky/4plugins/4autotray.zip => V:\empty\4autotray.zip
ftp://ilucky/4plugins/4console.zip => V:\empty\4console.zip

It was this - sorry for the typos earlier....

copy /a: /e /f /g /md /s /u /w /[! "ftp://abc.def.com/src/*" ] "ftp://abc.def.com/*"     c:\TCMD\MyPlugins\abc.def.com\
