You probably need to think a little harder about your requirements. In your
example you write

==========
(Example: When i run the batch file on 2008-12-16 and on time 16:02:57,
the name of the file that must be renamed is:
movie_1_20081206_160257.wmv and must be renamed in movie.wmv)
==========

In other words, you expect the batch file to do this:
ren movie_1_20081206_160257.wmv movie.mwv

This requirement will cause many failures because it is quite likely that
the "seconds" have ticked over to the next number by the time the batch file
runs. Putting it another way, your file name might be
movie_1_20081206_160257.wmv
but it might well be 16:02:58 at the time the batch file runs. It might even
be much later if the system is very busy, e.g. with a virus scanner pattern
file update or with an Automatic Windows Update.

You could use something like this:

@echo off
set Source=d:\Movie Files
set script=c:\script.scr
set site=ftp.jansen.com
set user=steven
set password=SomePassword

for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /od "%Source%"') do set name=%%a
if exist "%Source%\movie.mwv" del "%Source%\movie.mwv"
ren "%Source%\%name%" movie.mwv

echo> %script% %user%
echo>>%script% %password%
echo>>%script% binary
echo>>%script% put "%name%"
echo>>%script% quit

ftp -s:%Script% %site%
del %script%
del "%Source%\movie.mwv"

Script.scr is a script file containing a number of commands that are
meaningful for ftp.exe. It gets generated each time you run the batch file.
If you prefer then you can call it stevenjansen.xyz . . .

Thanks for the feedback.
