Hi,

You cannot use the cat command using the FTP session that is kinda obvious. Why dont you get the file, get the word count and delete it

basically i want to know how to execute any comand in ftp.

!(bang) works noly with few commands.also when i m giving

!wc rv1.sh it is returning value as 0.
-------------------------------------------------
it showing error wc: cannot open rv1.sh


how to basically use any type of command in ftp?
