Hi, just wriiten a sh script and as my script will try to log into another server to delete some files but when i run , it keeps on saying that my files do not exist. It seems to refer to my local directory instead. Below is my script :

FTP_HOST=ip_number
FTP_USER="user password"

REMOTE_PATH="/tmp"

## remove remote files
(echo user ${FTP_USER}
cd ${REMOTE_PATH}
rm ${REMOTE_PATH}/*.html
rm ${REMOTE_PATH}/*.pdf
echo bye
) | ( ftp -n -v ${FTP_HOST})

is this the correct method ??
Thanks

You have to use the delete command to delete a remote file .. and even then you can only delete one at a time. I don't believe the asterisk will work as a wildcard.
