UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi everybody,

I have a problem. I'm trying to ftp a file to a remote system. my shell that wrote is look for a data in a area and when it there its starting the ftp. At this point it works. Then it does cd $quelle

ftp -n test <<EUF
user anonymous test
image
put W*
EUF


and so on..... but before the ftp starts i get "Line overflow".

Can anyone helpme??

Hi Peter,

you might want to try:

ftp ftp://[userassword]@host[ort]/directory/ ! put W*

HTH,

P.S.: Is "EUF" the commonly used version of "EOF" in Hessen?

Ok, once again with smilies disabled:

ftp ftp://[user:password]@host[:port]/directory/ ! put W*

HTH,
Lexx

Hi Lexx

I don't have this remote system as a host setup. I just have setup as ip address..In the /etc/hosts


Peterh

Peter,

"host" means either FQDN or IP, so you can use either

HTH,

Its not working maybe because im using " put W* "

Peter

Peter,

what is the exact line you use? Mask the user, pass and host stuff if you desire

And what is the exact error you get?

EDIT: Damn, I'm tired! Of course "put W*" won't work. I guess using a shell script using 'for' should do the deal, i.e.:
for i in W*; do <ftp-command>; done
Where in <ftp-command> you use $i as the file of course

Greetings,
Lexx
