Hi Darwin,

What i am really looking for is to write a ftp script which would accept the following parameters
Server
Userid
LocalFilePath
RemoteFilePath
FTPType - whether binary or ascii
FileChecker - if set to "Y" and if the file is empty do not FTP the file
if set to "N" , ftp the file even if the file is empty
FileName1
FileName2
FileName3
.
.
.

This is how i plan to do
shift 6
File_count = "$#" total count of files to be FTP'ed
File_list = "$@" total files that may be FTP'ed

If FileChecker is set to "Y" run a loop to ignore the files which are empty and thus prepare a new file list

So if i pass 3 files as parameter abc.txt , pqr.txt and xyz.txt and assuming pqr.txt is an empty file and the file_checker is set to "Y"
File_list would be abc.txt pqr.txt xyz.txt
New_File_List would be abc.txt xyz.txt

I would then use this new_file_list , open an ftp connection and transfer all the files using mput.

I am not good at unix commands.
Please let me know if there is a better, much simpler way to do the above piece of code.

Thanks,
Sam

NAME
trcs - convert text files from one codeset to other SYNOPSIS
trcs -C | -l | -h trcs [-s] [-f input-codeset ] [-t output-codeset ] [ file ]... DESCRIPTION
trcs is a program for translation of text files from one codeset to other. When exact translation is impossible it tries to make approxi- mations. For example pseudographic characters are approximated by ASCII characters in codesets that have no pseudographic characters and characters with diacritical marks are approximated by existing characters. If the option -s or --gen-script is given trcs will generate simple script that invokes tr(1) This is useful if you want to include this in your script or for faster conversion of many files. If none of -C, -s, -l, -h and their equivalents is given each file will be read assuming it is coded with codeset input-codeset On standard output it will be recoded so to use codeset output-codeset If there is no file given trcs will act as filter. Both input-codeset and out- put-codeset are case insensitive and default to `cp1251'. OPTIONS
-C, --copyright Display copying conditions and warranty information. -s, --gen-script Generates conversion script for given input and output encodings instead to convert text files. -l, --list List all known codesets with their aliases. -h, --help Display this help and exit. -f input-codeset, --from[=]input-codeset Codeset of the source. -f output-codeset, --to[=]output-codeset Codeset of the output. EXAMPLES
trcs -fcyrillic -t koi8-r letter.txt Convert letter.txt from ISO-8859-5 (cyrillic) to KOI8-R and output the result on standard output. trcs --from cp437 --to=mik --gen-script >ibm2mik Generates script ibm2mik for converting from CP437 to MIK. sh ibm2mik screen.txt Convert screen.txt from CP437 to MIK. Output the result on standard output. Without parameters ibm2mik acts as filter. AUTHOR
