Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply. Need some clarifications regarding the code snippet you have given. I believe this is a shell script for storing details of new ftp transfers in a file.

echo "
open node
# Open connection to the remote server
USER pass pswd
# Connect using user-id and password
verbose
# Switch off verbose
cd /somewhere
put somefile
# Some instructions
bye
" > /usr/bin/ftp -n >> /path/to/myftp.log
# What does '> /usr/bin/ftp -n' do exactly. Should it be reading '<' from /usr/bin/ftp and then writing to a file.
# How can I go about implementing this script so that details of all new ftp transfers are logged in a file.

Thanks in Advance
Nakul

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
