Q13384 - HOWTO: FTP Files From Customer to Our Server

So how do you use FTP to send files back to our FTP site? Customer might not like us installing applications on their computer for this purpose.

The most generic, basic, rudimentary FTP is provided in Windows. Click on Start button > Run > then enter ftp. This will open a command window with a prompt 'ftp>'. Next you need to open a channel to our ftp site, then get the files. Using this tool it might be best if the files you want are saved to one folder and use the 'put' command which will allow you to use wildcards (such as asterisk - *).

This is the basic dialog you can use:

ftp> open ftp.opssys.com
User: opsuser
Password: opsuser

ftp> binary
ftp> put c:\temp\*.bak
