Question Automated FTP from Unix to Active Directory Server
Automated Unix to Windows Active Directory FTP

I have done many automated FTP scripts using the following logic:

===============================

echo "Starting the FTP transfer..."
{ echo "
open 192.168.1.100
user username password
ascii
put textfile.txt
close "
} | ftp -i -n -v > ftptransfer.log

===============================


But now i need to log into an FTP site on a Windows Active Directory server. The username that I need to pass to the script has a domain name and a backslash in front of it: "AD\username". I have tried escaping the backslash (AD\\username) and using various quoting combinations, but I cannot get the script to pass the username as AD\username. It usually gets sent as ADusername, without the backslash, which does not work.

Any ideas?

NAME

       gftp - file transfer client for *NIX based machines.

SYNOPSIS

       gftp [options] [[proto://][ user : [pass] @] server [: port ][/ directory ]]

DESCRIPTION

       gFTP  is  a file transfer client for *NIX based machines. It currently has a text interface and a GTK+ 1.2/2.x graphical interface. It cur-
       rently supports the FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP, HTTPS, SSH and FSP protocols.

OPTIONS

       You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically connect to when it starts up.

       --help, -h
	      Display program usage.

       --info Display some information about how gFTP was built. Please send the output of this command when submitting a bug report.

       --version, -v
	      Display the current version of gFTP.

       proto  This specifies the protocol that should be used. It can currently be one of the following options: ftp, ftps, http, https, ssh, fsp,
	      local and bookmark. If omitted, the protocol specified by the default_protocol option will be used.

       user   The username that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted, your current username will be used for most protocols. For
	      the FTP protocol, the anonymous username will be used.

       pass   The password that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted, you will be prompted for the password. If  you	are  using

       server The remote server to connect to.

       port   The  remote port on the server to connect to. If omitted, the default port for the protocol will be used. The port will be looked up
	      in the services(5) file.

       directory
	      The directory to change to once you are connected to the remote server.
