Another Option for using SFTP in a batch script
Hi,
I was having a problem figuring out how to "access" the stdin in a batch on our server (most of the UNIX gurus that I normally ask are out of the office today). So I settled on creating a temporary ftp script by echoing my commands to it and then calling that from sftp -b.
Hope this helps someone else.
