Indeed, I hope you saw it works perfectly now! Only now I need to have an IF clause for the IP's where there's a folderlist for. See previous post.
Muchos gracias

Maybe you can check this thread to get an idea how to use a loop within the ftp command:

FTP is not really a problem here, though I will check out the thread. But what I would need here is:

Code:
awk '{ sub("\r$", ""); print }' ftpservers.txt > unixfile.txt
awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f];system("cat " a[f] "_folderlist.txt")}}' unixfile.txt 

If _folderlist.txt exists then
 ftp myserver 
 user UN PW
 **transfer folders** 
else 
 **show: No such file or directory (or something like that)**
fi
done

Thanks in advance

You can give this a try. The awk command prints the ipaddress and the filename separated by a space.
The 1st while loop reads the ipaddress and the filenames and the 2nd loop gives the contents (directories) of the files.

Code:
awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f], a[f] "_folderlist.txt"}}' unixfile.txt | 
while read ipaddress flist
do
  while read dir
  do
    # log in with $ipaddress
    # copy $dir .....
  done < $flist
done

Hope this helps.

Thanks a bunch Franklin, You're a genious! That's exactly what I need. I'm now trying to establish an FTP connection by using $ipaddress and transfer the $dir 's.
I'll let you know when I'm that far

Regards,
Laurens

EDIT: one more thing, how can I get all .txt files at once.
Code:
ftp -n -v immserv1.xx.xx.be << EOT
ascii
user U/N P/W
prompt
cd BACKUP
###get *.txt###
ls
EOT

Something like get *.txt , but that ain't working. Thx
