Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How do I capture multiple lines of the status output of a command? Post 302327055 by zzz1528 on Friday 19th of June 2009 12:48:26 PM

Thanks vidyadhar85! You gave me what I needed to find the answer.

It's a simple -v command on the FTP command line:

Code:
sh-3.2$ ftp -v -u ftp://username:password@computerdomain/directory/ file_to_be_uploaded | grep KB/s

That gives me exactly what I want.

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
