Batch file help

[esc0]

I have this batch file prob. i try to log in to a windows shell thru dos so i put the following lines in :

conn ip port
cd ..
cd..
MKDIR foldername
exit

thats just an example.
after i log into the shell the cd.. wont execute. can anyone help me to get this work.

Why do you have a CD.. command at all? Why not just use the MD command with the full path. Like:

md c:\directoryname\subdirectoryname\etc

well thats just some extra info i added. the big prob is getting the batch to execute commands off the batch after it logs into the shell

Sorry. I don't quite understand what you mean.

Sometime with these batch files there are strange idiosyncrasies that are only going to be caught when examining the actual specifics of the file. You're welcome to (if you want) post your file that you're having problems with so we can better understand what's going on.

ok this batch file connects me into a windows shell. as u can see i have more that 1 cmd to execute. so i log into the shell. but once im connected to the other computer (shell) the 2nd line wont execute. it might be that the batch is executing the command on my shell insted of doing it on the other shell i connected too.

anyone know ?

Try the 'call' command (to call another batchfile). You can place your shell executable in the second batchfile and then when it is finished running that exec. it should return you to the original batch file and continue from its place.

This looks remarkably like a hack. Connect to an IP, go up 2 folders, test if you can make a folder then exit?

Only serves one purpose I can think of....
