Terry, if your host requires PASV mode, then you cannot use the MS command line FTP client, you will have use to use something else.

I have found the problem, with the help of my hosting service.
The host requires passive mode so you need to put a -a in the bat file.
Microsoft FTP doesn't support passive mode.

ftp.bat
ftps -a -s:daily.ftp

(ftps is from the "moveItFreely" ftp programme) http://www.brothersoft.com/moveit-freely-89144.html Or some other.

Then the daily.ftp would be:-
open linux11.digiweb.net.nz
mylogin
mypwxxxxxx
put test.txt
bye

Change your settings to suit.
