Following this thread:
Automated FTP task
I have created the following script:

Code:
#! /bin/ksh

HOST=ftp.mywebsite2.com
USER=astrocloud
PASSWD=8****

exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&

print -p open $HOST
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p cd ~/www/gcc/cb
print -p lcd ~/www/gcc/cb
print -p binary
print -p put test.txt
print -p bye

wait
exit 0

I call this file: ./ksh_ftp.sh

The code could not be simpler. I have two identical file structures "~www/gcc/cb"
The file that I am passing from one linux to the other should reside in the same place.

The first thing is just weird. I have to call it like thus;
Code:
ksh ./ksh_ftp.sh

because otherwise I get the error:
Quote:
bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Anyways, I am lost about the error messages coming back from this.
Here is the error message that I am encountering;
Quote:
ksh ./ksh_ftp.sh
: not foundh[2]:
: not foundh[6]:
: illegal file descriptor name
Any clues? thanks

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

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.
