FTP batch upload to GoogleBase

[Stuff4Toys]

I am looking for Command Line DOS or UNIX help!
I would like to schedule an automating ftp of my Google base files to Google on a regular basis.

All the files are in the same folder home/john/GoogleBase/*.txt
ftp to uploads.google.com

It doesn't appear that Win/DOS ftp command supports username & password in the command line. can I put the username * password in the textfile?

ftp -s:google.txt uploads.google.com

then put the following in the google.txt file?

username
password
put *.txt
quit

THANKS

OK, I tried it as in the previous post and it worked OK???
My GoogleBase data is created with EasyPopulate Pro 3.0.3
When I do a manual upload via the GoogleBase Bulk Upload web page all works fine. I have thousands of SKU's from several sites listed on googlebase.

I tried this with a small site - 347 SKU's
When I use the the FTP routine as described by Google and put in PASV mode I get a successful upload, BUT I get a WARNING message (see below)

Here is what I am doing WIN/DOS:

ftp -s:command.txt uploads.google.com

In my command.txt file:

usemane
password
quote PASV
put googlebase.txt

I get:

quote PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (ip address)
put googlebase.txt
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for googlebase.txt.
226-WARNING 348 bare linefeeds received in ASCII mode
File may not have transfered correctly
226 Transfer Complete.
ftp: xxx bytes sent in xx Seconds x.x bytes/sec.

It's the bare linefeeds I have a question about. OK? Not OK? should I try a Binary Mode transfer?
