UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hello all-

I'm (hopefully) trying to replace a WS_FTP (Windows program) job with a curl command in a script on UNIX.

In short, this process has been in place for some time, and in curl I am getting directory perm issues, which does not seem to be accurate, since this process has been in place in WS_FTP for quite some time. I am suspicious I have a syntax error of some kind.

Any ideas? I need to use ssl, and I login as a particular user, and I have to place the file into a different directory than what is set as the default when the user logs in. Here is what I have:

Code:

curl --ftp-ssl -u name:pass -k -T /tmp/file.txt ftp://000.000.000.000:20021/remotefolder/file.txt

Result:

Code:

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory

Thank you so much for any tips provided.

Code:

curl version info:
curl 7.15.3 (hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11) libcurl/7.15.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7i zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

Hmm. I may be out of luck using curl. I received the following note from the admin of the target server:

"...you need to plece the user id, password, change directory and put or get command each on completely separate lines. We do not work on a true tree structure."

So...is there a way to do this with curl?

Thanks all.

???

Try this:

Code:

curl --ftp-ssl -u name:pass -k -Q "CWD remotefolder" -T /tmp/file.txt ftp://000.000.000.000:20021/file.txt
