It should make for an interesting excercise.
I have tested the first half of the script. You will need to alter the variables at the top. Also look at the the lines marked with a comment. Make sure that the top half is working before you try the bottom half. I didn't test the bottom half, but I think it should work....
Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
HOST=xxx.abc.com
USER=andrec
PASSWD=xyzzy
DIR=directory
LIST=""
IFS=""
{ ftp -n <<-!x
open $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD
cd $DIR
dir
bye
!x
} | while read line ; do
firstchar=$(echo "$line" |cut -c1)
name=$(echo "$line" | cut -c55-) ##### adjust the 55
case $firstchar in
-) echo $name is a real file
if [[ -z $LIST ]] ; then
LIST=$name
else
LIST="$LIST:$name"
fi
;;
l) echo $name is a symlink
one=${name%% *}
two=${name##* }
echo ln -s $one $two ##### lose the echo
;;
esac
done
exit ##### remove me when first half is working
#
# Get the files (untested)
{
print open $HOST
print user $USER $PASSWD
print cd $DIR
IFS=":"
for name in $LIST ; do
print get $name
done
print bye ; } | ftp -n
exit 0|

colcrt
colcrt(1) General Commands Manual colcrt(1) Name colcrt - filter nroff output for CRT previewing Syntax colcrt [-] [-2] [file...] Description The command provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences for terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is destructive. Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `-') are placed on new lines in between the normal output lines. Options - Suppresses all underlining. It is especially useful for previewing allboxed tables from -2 Causes half-lines to be printed, double spacing the output. Normally, a minimal space output format is used which will suppress empty lines. The program never suppresses two consecutive empty lines, however. The -2 option is useful for sending output to the line printer when the output contains superscripts and subscripts which would otherwise be invisible. Examples A typical use of would be: tbl exum2.n | nroff -ms | colcrt - | more Restrictions Can't back up more than 102 lines. General overstriking is lost; as a special case `|' overstruck with `-' or underline becomes `+'. Lines are trimmed to 132 characters. See Also col(1), more(1), nroff(1), ul(1) colcrt(1)
