Command A & Command B

Execute Command A, then execute Command B (no evaluation of anything)

Command A | Command B

Execute Command A, and redirect all its output into the input of Command B

Command A && Command B

Execute Command A, evaluate the errorlevel after running and if the exit code (errorlevel) is 0, only then execute Command B

Command A || Command B

Execute Command A, evaluate the exit code of this command and if it's anything but 0, only then execute Command B

You might get forced using ftp's "file"-option ... https://ss64.com/nt/ftp.html

The reason it will not work is because "ftp" is an application that is running which expects user input. If "ftp" were to exit, then it would accept the next command of "open localhost". That however, would make no sense since it is not a command.

What you want to do is create input that can be piped into the "ftp" command. That has nothing to do with AHK though. Try looking here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lib ... 90982.aspx
