automating a ftp job from your local system to a unix system... hmm... unless your .csv's are uniquely timestamped it might not work in your favor. you can always cd into the folder from command line (windows) and then ftp to the remote server. use the options:
Code:
prompt
mput *
or use a ftp tool like filezilla (i usually suggest this to any users who are non-tech savvy as it has a gui interface) and drag and drop.
this is untested as I just wrote it, but more or less should work from a unix system but you will have to adjust it for your needs:
Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
ftp=/usr/bin/ftp
PD=<local directory>
TS=`/usr/bin/date +%Y%m%d`
$ftp -inv <host> <<__EOFTP > path/to/log/ftp.$TS.log 2>&1
user <username> <password>
lcd $PD
cd <path to directory>
ascii <or use whichever format you want
put `<filename>`
bye
__EOFTP
but keep in mind that is only for a specific filename. you would have to use
Code:
prompt and mput
if you are importing or getting all files from that folder.
be sure to try this out manually first line by line prior to making this a consistent job.

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.
