Hi, ober

You can write a simple shell script to automate an ftp process, similar to a win batch file. Check out Heiner's Shelldorado at http://oase-shareware.org/shell/ for scripting resources. The ftp man page on your system will help, too.

To schedule the ftp process, you can make an entry in your crontab. (man cron or man crontab).
