Hi again PORTER,
Glad you are not working... me i am... and need to solve my issue asap!

Sorry to be a pain, but here are my (hopefully) last questions :

1- when i ftp DOC, RTF, HTM, HTML, XML from my desktop to our UNIX server (via WS FTP PRO), do i need to use ASCII or BINARY option ?

2- in my CAT command, do i need to UUENCODE the BODY ?
I know i do not need to do (i must NOT actually) when it is a TXT file, but what about the other extensions (as per above).

[I told you i was a dummy.....]

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. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWbipr | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
