    Try this:

    I have a simple .bat that points at another file.
    Makes editing easier.

    So code for bat:

    Code:
    ftp -i -s:LOCATION OF INSTRUCTION FILE\INSTRUCTION.txt
    Text of INSTRUCTION file
    Code:
    open IP of FTP
USERNAME
PASSWORD
mput flag.txt (simple flag file)
y
mput YOUR_FILES
y
delete flag.txt
bye
exit
