Re: FTP From SQR

UNIX:
Create a script like this:

ftp -v -i -n [remote server] <<EOF
user [username] [userpassword]
cd /directory
put [filename]
EOF


if you are running on NT, you need to create two files:

In your main batch file, you should have a line like:

ftp  -n -i -s:f:\DATA\[filename] [remote server]

The file called [filename] should contain:

user [username] [password]
cd  /[remote directory]
lcd /[local directory]
get [some file]
put [some file]
bye

the file [filename] should not have a .bat extension.

You can call the script/batch from the sqr using call system.

Hello, everyone.

I've been sitting back quietly reading all the information posted on this
list for the last few months, and have really been impressed with the
technical knowledge of the members.  I have an issue I'm trying to develop
a solution for.....

Has anyone ever fired off an FTP process from within an SQR, or created an
external program to do an FTP on the client, which is then called from an
SQR?

Thank you.
