Hi,

From within my C++ program, I fork a child process and execl an ftp session (solaris), like this :

std::string szStartCmd = "ftp -i -n -v 192.168.149.31";

int nExecRes = execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", szStartCmd.c_str(), (char *)0);

I use 2 pipes to communicate between my parent process and the ftp. But I'm not sure if it's possible to catch the output of the solaris ftp in a pipe, so that I can use it in my parent process. Until now I've only used uni-directional communication between parent and child process.
Getting commands from my parent to the ftp process works fine, but the ftp output is just printed on the screen. I would like to "catch" it in my parent process. Does anyone know if this is possible ?
