How can I send a file to an FTP server by emailing?
Posted Monday, September 20, 2010 by admin
I would like to send a file to my server by merely emailing the file to the server. I have a file I want to update daily on my server, and instead of FTPing everyday, I’d like to just send an email.

Not unless you receive the email on the ftp server and detach it from the email.

Most FTP servers do not support receiving files by e-mail. If you don’t want to use FTP, and you are running Windows XP, you might want to create a network place for the FTP site. Then you can access the site from My Network Places, and use the normal Windows Explorer interface for sending files (drag/drop, copy/paste, etc.).

Why not just write a shell script to do it for you automatically?

use Batch Command
example
open YourServer
YourUsername
YourPassword
cd folderdestination
mput filesource
quit
