First method works I have not tried the others yet. I deleted some files on a USB drive and recovered most of them with “restoration” program.

Script file no file extention FTP01: (in other words save as all files in notepad)

.bat file FTP.bat
ftp -s:FTP01 179.130.151.125    (ftp load script name FTP01 host name)

In this case the script and .bat files are in the same location as files to upload.

FTP or File Transfer Protocol is a useful utility that allows you to transfer several files between a workstation or client with the FTP server. Although nowadays GUI FTP client programs such as WS-Ftp and FileZilla are very common, but DOS or command-line FTP interface comes in useful and handy as it’s free and especially when you don’t have Internet connection to download the advance FTP clients, as basic FTP functionalities are built-in into most operating system including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Linux, Unix, FreeBSD and so on.

In DOS or command line FTP, to transfer several files, you can use the commands mput (Multiple PUT) and mget (Multiple GET). These commands work exactly like put and get except the commands allow you to transfer multiple filesin a single command by specifying the files that you want to transfer with wildcards such as * to get all files.

However, mget and mput will prompt user to choose Yes or No before each file is tranfered to or from the server. It’s troublesome and time wasting if you have to upload or download a lot of files as you have to attend and pay attention to the FTP process and press Y for each and every file.

To avoid the situation and automatically transfer the files so that the FTP session can process unattended, use the prompt command before using the mput or mget commands. The prompt command toggles between prompting on, where ftp will prompt you to choose yes or no before each file is transferred, and prompting off, which will copy all files without prompting. By default, prompting is on. So to continue to FTP transfer all files without asking, remember to issue prompt command before starting the transfer process. Ask it do not prompt before putting or getting the files, make sure that your existing files do have have the same file name as FTP will overwrite the existing files that exists on the destination directory automatically too. The command is simple, just a single word “prompt”:

ftp> prompt

Interactive mode off.

FTP command line utility should return Interactive mode off, which is FTP will no longer prompting for instruction from users (prompting off) and will always assumes Yes to whatever actions, in case is get or put the file or overwriting. If key in prompt again will turn prompting on. With prompting on, however, you can easily terminate the FTP file transfer session if the transfer might not work or might take too long by pressing Ctrl-C (^c or press and hold the Control and C keys simultaneously). FTP utility will ask:

Continue with mput?.

Responding with the character n (for No) will stop the transfer process.

.bat file will rename and add current date, just change file extentions as needed.

You can use Registry Editor to add your log on information. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
3. Using your account name and password, double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and then click OK.
4. Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password under the value data box, and then click OK.If there is no DefaultPassword value, create the value. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
   2. Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and then press ENTER.
   3. Double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the Value Data box.

   If no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon registry key from 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature.

5. Double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, type 1 in the Value Data box, and then click OK.If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
   2. Type AutoAdminLogon as the value name, and then press ENTER.
   3. Double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the Value Data box.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
7. Click Start, click Restart, and then click OK.

After your computer restarts and Windows XP starts, you can log on automatically.

If you want to bypass the automatic logon to log on as a different user, hold down the SHIFT key after you log off or after Windows XP restarts. Note that this procedure applies only to the first logon. To enforce this setting for future logoffs, the administrator must set the following registry key:

Value:ForceAutoLogon
Type: REG_SZ
Data: 1

You can also use turn on automatic logon without editing the registry in Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and in Microsoft Windows XP Professional on a computer that is not joined to a domain. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK.Note When users try to display help information in the User Accounts window in Windows XP Home Edition, the help information is not displayed. Additionally, users receive the following error message:
   
   Cannot find the Drive:\Windows\System32\users.hlp Help file. Check to see that the file exists on your hard disk drive. If it does not exist, you must reinstall it.
3. Clear the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” check box, and then click Apply.
4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password in the Password box, and then retype the password in the Confirm Password box.
5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to close the User Accounts window.

To help you automate this type of operation, Windows XP comes with a command-line utility called Shutdown.exe, which can restart your system. To make this happen automatically, you can configure it to run at a specified time with the Scheduled Tasks tool. Here’s how:

Go to Control Panel | Scheduled Tasks.
Double-click Add Scheduled Task to launch the Scheduled Task Wizard.
Click Next and then click the Browse button.
Access the Windows\System32 folder, select Shutdown.exe, and click Open.
Follow the wizard through the next two screens to give the task a name and choose a schedule.
Enter your user account name and password and click Next.
Select the Open Advanced Properties check box and click Finish.
In the task’s Properties dialog box, add the /r parameter to the end of the command line in the Run text box and click OK. (Be sure to include a space between the last character in the command name and the first character in the parameter list.)
Enter your user account name and password and click OK.
When the Shutdown utility runs, you’ll momentarily see a small dialog box on your screen before the system restarts.

Note: This tip applies to both Windows XP Home and Professional editions.
