Windows Batch File that zips files from ftp location?

What kind of window's batch file allows zipping of ftp files?

Basically I want to keep backups of my xbmc files on my xbox, that is on the home network.

I already have a program (Cobian Backup) to on a schedule to ftp, copy files and zip and date them.

All this program does is just this 1 task. i have another program (System Scheduler) that I have a lot of scheduled tasks but can't handle ftping.

If I can get help creating a batch file to replace using Cobian Backup, and then schedule that batch file with my System Scheduler, then I can just uninstall cobian backup, and just run the batch file every so oftne.

Any suggestions, examples or guidelines?

Just to be clear, here is what I want the batch file to do:

  1. FTP into my xbox, and go to the xbmc folder
  2. Copy all that into some temporary folder that is empty.
  3. Zip that up with a file name of xbmc_month_day_year.zip
  4. Move that zip file to my xbox backup folder

Does that make sense?

Thank you very much.

out of curiousity, what is "System Scheduled" ? nothing comes up on google, is it a typo? – barlop – 2011-10-24T07:13:18.987

being familiar with xp, I see xp has "scheduled tasks". – barlop – 2011-10-24T07:29:37.110

Yes it does, but these programs are much more flexible, and have many more options. – crosenblum – 2011-10-24T10:01:09.180

Can't you disable Cobian's schedule function and manually run it from System Scheduler? – user1686 – 2011-10-24T14:27:48.833

1My question was simple, give me a batch file that can zip up files via ftp location. Why is this hard to understand? Cobian Backup does the zip and ftp itself, which is why I would prefer to just have a batch file do it. – crosenblum – 2011-10-24T15:41:58.397
