Lightbulb Alternative script for LFTP command
Hi,

I was looking for a command which would help sending files parallely to remote server , and lftp is the closest option I could got. Unfortunately when I checked the AIX machine I work on does not has lftp installed.
Is there any alternative perl script (or something like that) which I can use in this case to replicate lftp functionality.
I am asking this becuase ,UUENCODE also is not installed in the machine , but I was able to use the alternative perl script from this site.

The Colonel's Unix-Style Software

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated Smilie.

Thanks,
-Vinay

To install "uuencode" install the package "bos.net.uucp" (should be on first CD). "lftp" is free software and probably not available in binary form for AIX. Download it, compile it, package it to a rpm- or installp-package and install it from there.

I hope this helps.
