Error Count and Auto FTP
Hi, I really need to create a script that counts for file and ftp's them to a windows directory. !st problem i'm having is getting it to ftp withouty prompting me, i tried |& on the end of the ftp, but then it just hits a syntax error. 2nd problem is, i have to have a wildcard in this script. which is causing major trouble.

Is there anybody out there smarter then me, who can fix this?


#! /usr/bin/ksh

cd ????/????/par/942852
HOST=???.???.???.???
USER=USER
PASSWD=PWRD
count="$(find ????/????/par/942852/ -name "????*" -print | wc -l)"
if [[ $count -gt 0 ]]
then
exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4
print -p open $???.???.???.???
print -p user $USER $PWRD
print -p cd \\???.???.???\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
print -p ascii
print -p mput ????*
print -p bye
wait
exit 0
else
exit 0
fi

cd ????/????/par/942852
mv ????* cd ????/????/par/942852/proc/

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
