Trying to create rotating archive
Hello,
I am trying to have a rotating archive of 6 files on a hosted FTP server. Each day a file is created locally (
Occasionally, one of the files to be renamed doesn't exist and the script errors out. I'm hoping to change the script so that if an error occurs on one of the renames, that the operation continues.
Thanks for any advice.

I am trying to have a rotating archive of 6 files on a hosted FTP server. Each day a file is created locally (
d:\timelapse\timelapse_temp.mp4) and I run a script to rename the files on the server, upload the new file, and then rename it to the current displayed on the website (timelapse.mp4).
Occasionally, one of the files to be renamed doesn't exist and the script errors out. I'm hoping to change the script so that if an error occurs on one of the renames, that the operation continues.
Thanks for any advice.

mv instead of rename, same issue.
open ftp://inbound@[domain].net:[password]@ftp.[domain].net cd /working/weather mv timelapse5.mp4 timelapse6.mp4 mv timelapse4.mp4 timelapse5.mp4 mv timelapse3.mp4 timelapse4.mp4 mv timelapse2.mp4timelapse3.mp4 mv timelapse1.mp4 timelapse2.mp4 mv timelapse.mp4 timelapse1.mp4 put d:\timelapse\timelapse_temp.mp4 /working/weather/ mv timelapse_temp.mp4 timelapse.mp4 close exit
