Pedro I assume you are on a 50 or 51 series IA machine, since you are talking about crontab. Try using rcp instead of ftp since this is easier. Just type in at the source machine: rcp /opt/FILEFULLPATH LETTERBUGDEST:/DESTDIRCTORY for example: rcp /opt/fox/ciocfg/sequeninclude/junk.inc AW0051:/opt/fox/ciocfg/sequeninclude This is much easier to run then ftp.

I know that I can to use "cron" in order to automate the process but I don't know how to make an FTP in "auto mode" (without human intervention). Could you help me?
