Attempting to pass filename between two batch files

To do this i have two .BAT files PSFTP.bat and File2.bat In PSFTP.bat it holds the connection information for the SFTP server and it creates a filename and is supposed to pass it to the 2nd batch file. The problem is that it doesn't recognize the parameter if i use it in the first .bat file and if i just try and get the date in the second one it says that SET is not recognized by PSFTP. PSFTP.bat CODE SET Today=%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2% SET Filename=Promo_Name SET FINAL_FileName=%Filename%%Today% c:\psftp.exe host -l Username -pw Password -b c:\File2bat %FINAL_FileName% File2.bat CODE cd test cd in put %1 here is the output as it shows in command prompt: Attached thumbnail(s)

Question: is PSFTP.bat and File2.bat part of PSFTP.exe's setup files? or are they files that you made? If they belong to PSFTP.exe (PUTTY) then I would try getting ahold of the author or a PUTTY group?
