# PDF FTP Uploader
This tool sends PDF files to a server automatically. Just drop your PDFs in the right folder and double-click to upload. Done.
This tool sends PDF files to a server automatically. Just put your PDFs in today's folder and double-click to upload. Done.

## How to use it every day
1. Drop your PDF files into the practice folder (e.g. `Acme Dental\`)
2. Double-click **upload.bat** inside that folder
3. A window will open showing the progress
4. When it says **Done**, close the window — your files have been sent and moved to the `archive` folder automatically
1. Inside the practice folder, create a folder named with **today's date** (example: `20260629`)
2. Drop your PDF files into that date folder
3. Double-click **upload.bat** inside the practice folder
4. A window will open showing the progress
5. When it says **Done**, close the window — your files have been sent and the date folder moved to `archive\` automatically
To upload **all practices at once**, double-click **run-all.bat** in the main folder instead.

```
host= ← the FTP server address (given to you by the practice)
port=21 ← leave this as 21 unless told otherwise
username= ← your FTP username
password= ← your FTP password

## Something went wrong?
- **A file failed to upload** — it stays in the folder. Just double-click upload.bat again to retry.
- **A file failed to upload** — the date folder stays in place. Fix the issue and double-click upload.bat again to retry.
- **The window closed too fast** — right-click `upload.bat`, choose *Run as administrator* and try again.
- **Not sure if it worked** — check the `archive` folder. Files only move there after a successful upload.
- **Not sure if it worked** — check the `archive` folder. The date folder only moves there after every file uploads successfully.
