Create directory or skip though ftp script

Question

I'm ftping in to an Adrive.com account to upload a backup file. I do not know the version of linux that is installed. I tried to get the version with these commands:

ftp> uname -r
Invalid command.
ftp> cat /etc/*-release
Invalid command.
ftp> lsb_release -a
Invalid command.
ftp> cat /proc/version
Invalid command.
ftp> uname -a
Invalid command.

As you can see none of them worked.

Here is my script that I'm trying to run:

ECHO open ftp://xxx:[email protected]>FTPSND.TXT
echo cd backup>>FTPSND.TXT
echo cd companyfiles>>FTPSND.TXT
echo mkdir %3>>FTPSND.TXT
echo cd %3>>FTPSND.TXT
echo option transfer binary>>FTPSND.TXT
ECHO send %1>>FTPSND.TXT
ECHO close>>FTPSND.TXT
ECHO exit>>FTPSND.TXT
winscp.com /script=ftpsnd.txt >>%2

And the error that is happening on the mkdir:

Error creating folder 'BEL'.
File or directory already exists.
(A)bort, (R)etry, (S)kip: Abort

My main problem is that if the directory does not exist, I need to create it, otherwise I skip that step and move on to the send.

Any ideas how I get around this?

EDIT

In response to Hackoo:

I failed to mention that this batch file is called from another batch file close to the end. When I used your code, I am not getting the file uploaded and the log shows:

ftp> Open ftp.adrive.com
Connected to ftp.adrive.com.
220 Username is your email address used for web interface
User (ftp.adrive.com:(none)):
331 Username OK, please send password.

230 Welcome xxxxx
ftp> prompt n
Interactive mode Off .
ftp> bin
200 TYPE changed to I.
ftp> MkDir /backup/companyfiles/IFC
550 File or directory already exists.
ftp> cd /backup/companyfiles/IFC
250 Changed directory OK.
ftp> mput D:\SSSAVES\sssbackup\TMPDIR\IFC_20160705141154.ZIP
200 PORT command OK.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for file IFC_20160705141154.ZIP.

It is not moving from this point and doing anything. I let it sit there for 2 hours just to make sure. The file is only 70mb in size so I doubt it would take that long.

EDIT #2

The file did eventually show up on Adrive, so I believe the ftp mput is working. It just doesn't seem to be releasing after it is sent

EDIT #3

I did change it from mput to put since I am only sending 1 file. That did not make a difference.

Why do you need to know what operating system the host is running? — SomethingDark

@SomethingDark to know how to handle the ftp commands, so I'll know what my options are. — ErocM

@Aacini Ty for the response. When I tried this I got ftp> if not exist %3 mkdir %3 Invalid command. — ErocM

@Aacini Ty for the response. There isn't any difference from the way I ran it, from the ftp command line, and the way you are suggesting I run it. I did put this in my script and I got the same results. The echo is outputting ftp commands and not batch commands so the if not exist will not work as an ftp command. — ErocM

Can you try with this vbscript and tell me if it upload or not this file with 70Mb in size :

set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Login = "Your Username"
'If your username contains the @ symbol, and your web browser does not support this, you can substitute for the +
Login = Replace(Login,"@","+")
Password = "Your Pass"
FTPSERVER = "ftp.server.com"
RemoteFolder = "RemoteFolderName"
FTPURL = "ftp://"& Login &":"& Password &"@"& FTPSERVER &"/"& RemoteFolder
Connect2FTP = objShell.run("Explorer "& FTPURL ,1,False)

I have done an old vbscript to deal like that

Description :

You are on a different computer than you, either with friends or in a cybercafe? You want to add, modify, delete files or folders on your FTP server? No chance, you do not have programs on hand as FTP clients like (FileZilla, CuteFTP, FlashFXP. Etc ...) to access your Private FTP server ! No problem => FTP Explorer is the solution to turn your web browser or windows explorer in your FTP client !

I'd just translate this old french version to english version !

Hope that can help you !
