Full Discussion: Random parameters passing in FTP script

Random parameters passing in FTP script
Hi

I have a question.

In the FTP script if we are passing all the required value like Hostname, username, password, Action(put or get), Filename, & mode(ascii or binary) through parameters then we have to pass these in the exact orders in which they are taken like if we defined Username=$2 then we have to pass this as the second parameter.

Now if the user is completely unaware of the parameters numbering & passes all the parameters randomly, is there a way to identify which value belongs to which parameters.

Thanks
