Batch script - Inserting timestamps into filenames for uploading to an FTP server

Asked by colorbars in Windows Batch Scripting, Miscellaneous Programming, File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Tags: Microsoft Windows, 2003 Server, ftp upload script insert timestamp into filename

I need to build a script for uploading files to an FTP server from a folder on one of my servers.  How do I insert a timestamp into the filename at the time of upload so each file is unique when it gets to the FTP server?  I already have an upload script that uploads multiple files to the FTP server just fine.  I need to know how to insert the timestamp into the filename, however.  Thanks for any and all help!
