Thanks for your reply Franklin,
It looks like a solid line of code, though, it gives me this output:
Code:
...

221 Goodbye.

_folderlist.txt

This is my bash script so far:
Code:
ftp -n -v immserv1.xxx.XXX.be << EOT
ascii
user username pass
prompt
cd BACKUP
get ftpservers.txt
ls
EOT
#iplist=$(sed -n 1~3p ftpservers.txt)
awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f] "_folderlist.txt"}}' ftpservers.txt
#rm ftpservers.txt

I would also need a line that gets all the files with the .TXT extension.

Thanks in advance

Btw, I understand asking you guys to write the whole script is quite impossible but I would already be glad with the first steps. step by step...
