I've used this script method (though I put my user/pass in a .netrc file),
and it works well, with one exception: if the file transfer fails, the ftp
process does not return an error code, so it's not easy to check in a
script whether your file went over or not (without listing the target or
trying to retrieve the file).
To get around this, I snarfed a program called "curl" from
sunfreeware.com. It is a comprehensive command-line file transfer utility
that returns error codes, can transfer using FTP or HTTP, etc.

To script ftp, try
#!/bin/sh
ftp <<INPUT
open 1AW51E
user root gnomes
cd /opt
..
INPUT
You could also load NFS on a Windows box - Hummingbird includes it with
the
latest eXceed I think - or SAMBA on the 51E (www.sunfreeware.com)

Hi,
are their any replacements for the standard ftp tool on a AW51C?
I recognized that this solaris 2.5.1 ftp tool isn't compatible to the
windows ftp tool.
What I need is the capability to control a ftp connection by a
configuration file. Does anyone knows a way to do it?
Here an example how it works on windows :-)
# ftp -s:myftp.config
The file myftp.config contains the necessary ftp commands:
verbose=20
prompt=20
open MyComputerHostname
username
password
lcd /sourcedirectory/folder/
cd /targetdirectory/
mput *.pdf
bye
Regards
Andreas
