When writing a batch file, the process is to download a file from FTP and then decompress it to a certain folder. But FTP download takes time. How to delay? Except for PAUSE.

Maybe you can use IF EXIST instead of delay.

The simplest delay: ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 to achieve a 5-second delay, and you can set the delay time yourself

The delay doesn't seem to solve the problem of the original poster. How do you know how much delay time is needed? The characteristic of batch processing is that each command is executed in sequence. The next command won't be executed before the previous one finishes. If it's related to a specific command, you can use start /wait to start a certain command (wait for it to finish executing).

I'm afraid there's no command for delay. But you can use a third-party tool, for example, wait.com on the MSDOS 7.1 boot disk.
