I have to transfer large zip files using ftpscrpt. Since there are processes on the remote ftp site that are looking for files and are triggered immediately after the file is detected, I cannot transferred them as *.zip files. So, I am renaming them as *.tmp before the ftpscrpt command, then transferring them and then after the transfer would like to rename them the *.tmp to *.zip on the remote FTP site. I am using windows batch and ws_ftp (ftscrpt) commands to transfer the file and am running these scripts using a job scheduler. The rename command I have at the end (in bold) doesn't work and any assistance provided is greatly appreciated. I am looping through files using a do loop in my windows batch file so that I transfer one file at a time.

Windows batch script:

for %%f in (*.zip) do (

echo Starting to process file..... %%f

echo Renaming file... %%f to have a *.tmp extension

rename *.zip *.tmp

echo FTPing file... %%f

"ftpscrpt" -f ftp_script.scp

@if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 (exit -4)

)

FTP script (ftp_script.scp):
