I have a batch file to ftp files to a IP address and am using wildcards:
PUT E*.*
however this only sends one file.
QUESTION:
How do I send the others if they are there?

The batch file reads a text file to FTP:
FTP -s:ftp.txt
After ther FTP, the files are put into an archive folder. I have to move the extra files back and FTP again as it is now.

I I'm remembering correctly, you want to use mput and mget to send multiple files like that

Yes, the mput command will send more then one file. Good luck.

\PUT E*.* WILL SEND FILES WITH FILE NAMES BEGINING WITH E + ANY NUMBER OF CHARACTERS WITH ANY FILE EXTENTION. IN ORDER TO SEND ALL FILES, FORGO THE E IN THE COMMAND LINE. \PUT *.* SHOULD SEND ALL FILES WITH ANY FILE NAME AND ANY FILE EXTENTION. IF YOUR ONLY GETTING ONE FILE TRANSFERED YOU MAY ONLY HAVE ONE WITH A FILE NAME BEGINING WITH E.
