You are running a batch file to log the commands to a file log.txt, but you are calling the batch file from ftp.

instead try this:

"C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\FTPtest\upload.bat" > log.txt
cd "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\FTPtest\upload"
ftp -i -s:"C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\FTPtest\log.txt"

Secondly, your batch file is wrong. If you want to create a file for ftp -I to read you need to ensure that the commands are piped to the file for instance everything should pipe, currently you are running the commands and piping the output to log.txt

echo open myftp.myadress.com
echo name
echo password
echo dir >> dir.txt  # This however will not do what you think it would.
echo cd testfolder
echo cd cielovy
echo prompt
echo bin
echo mput *
echo bye
