Assuming this situation:

Unix ----FTP----> Windows (111.222.333.444)

This works for me:

Quote:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user
ftp -n 111.222.333.444 <<EOT
quote user unixuser
quote pass unixuserpass
binary
cd /TEST
put test.txt
quit
EOT

(Notice "cd /TEST" instead of "cd C:\TEST")
What's the ftp server you are using? IIS?
