Re: FTP Problem

Hi Raghu,

This can be a really late reply, but here is my bit of suggestion.

You may refer to the ftp manual ("man ftp") for this. I suggest having a
.netrc file in the home directory of the user the script is running
under. This way, you won't be asked for a username and pass while
ftp'ing.
Just write the command as :

   $ftpCommand = 'printf put report.lis\n\nbye\n\n' || ' | ftp
servername.com '

and call this command using the "call system using $ftpCommand"

that should do the trick!!
