Issue with zenity list on ftp
Hello guys,

I am trying to create simple script which will show user GUI and redirect him to folder which he will chose based on his action, the folder is variable which has to be selected by user, the rest of the script updates/copies/removes values in that folder.


it is quite simple to create in on the "desktop"
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~ 

gui=$(ls | zenity --list --column=Folder) 
if [ $? == 0 ]; then 
 cd "$gui" 
mkdir test 
else 
zenity --info --text "The script has been canceled!" 
fi 
;;

but whenever I will try the same approach on FTP in will fail, it seems that ls (or nlist) on ftp is not the same as ls ...

is there anyway how to show the user GUI on FTP ?

pseudo-code for ftp which will fail due issue that zenity command is not recognized
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ftp -inv <<+ 
lcd ~ 
open ftp. 
user USER PWD 
cd folder 
gui=$(ls | zenity --list --column=Folder) 
if [ $? == 0 ]; then 
 cd "$gui" 
else 
zenity --info --text "The script has been canceled!" 
fi 
;; 
+

LEARN ABOUT LINUX

next

NEXT(1) 							     [nmh-1.5]								   NEXT(1)

NAME

       next - show the next message

SYNOPSIS

       next [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc program] [-header | -noheader] [-checkmime | -nocheckmime] [switches for showproc or
	    showmimeproc] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       Next performs a show on the next message in the specified (or current) folder.  Like show, it passes any switches on to the  program  show-
       proc  or  showmimeproc, which is called to list the message.  This command is almost exactly equivalent to "show next".	Consult the manual
       entry for show(1) for all the details.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile	  The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:		    To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:	    To find the default current folder
       showproc:	    Program to show non-MIME messages
       showmimeproc:	    Program to show MIME messages

SEE ALSO

       show(1), prev(1)

DEFAULTS

       `+folder' defaults to the current folder
       `-checkmime'
       `-header'

CONTEXT

       If a folder is specified, it will become the current folder.  The message that is shown (i.e., the next message in  sequence)  will  become
       the current message.

BUGS

       next  is  really  a link to the show program.  As a result, if you make a link to next and that link is not called next, your link will act
       like show instead.  To circumvent this, add a profile-entry for the link to your nmh profile and add the argument next to the entry.
