FTP Upload from Windows Batch File

Following various guides around the net, I put together a batch file that should upload a .zip to our central file server. However, If I use "ftp -n -s:ftpup.dat 108.174.61.82 20" it doesn't work with the port 20 added to the host. I have also tried "ftp -n -s:ftpup.dat" then "open 108.174.61.82 20" on the next line which also fails. What exactly am I doing wrong?

cd MySQL
@echo off
echo user backups>ftpup.dat
echo passwordhere>>ftpup.dat
echo cd /MySQL>>ftpup.dat
echo binary>>ftpup.dat
echo put MYSQL-%location%.%backuptime%.zip>>ftpup.dat
echo quit>>ftpup.dat
ftp -n -s:ftpup.dat serveriphere 20
del ftpup.dat

I know this is an old question, but I had the same problem with the port, this is what worked for me, I saved the command open %ftphost% > ftpcmd.dat in the file instead of calling it later

SET ftphost=172.xxx.xxx.xx 22    
ECHO open %ftphost% > ftpcmd.dat
ECHO user %username%>> ftpcmd.dat
ECHO %userpass%>> ftpcmd.dat
ECHO bin>> ftpcmd.dat
ECHO put %file%>> ftpcmd.dat
ECHO quit>> ftpcmd.dat

ftp -n -s:ftpcmd.dat
del ftpcmd.dat

Are you running FTP server or port 20?

Telnet serveriphere 20 to check if the port is listening, maybe you have it running on default port 21

PS: Is it raw ftp protocol?. Maybe It is using SFTP or FTPS

EDIT: Try with

ftp -s:ftpup.dat serveriphere 20

Remove the -n autologin flag

Try with this:

Echo ~UsrName~> ftpcmd.txt
echo ~myPass~>> ftpcmd.txt
echo binary>> ftpcmd.txt
echo prompt n>>ftpcmd.txt
echo mget *.exe>> ftpcmd.txt
echo bye >> ftpcmd.txt
ftp -s:ftpcmd.txt ~ftpAddress~
del ftpcmd.txt
