"Weiss, Andreas" <Andreas.Weiss@de To: <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> .bp.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: [foxboro] ftp utility on Solaris 2.5.1 AW51C foxboro-bounce@fr eelists.org 08/11/2004 11:16 AM Please respond to foxboro 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 BP Koeln _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
