Unix Batch FTP - SAS
Hi All,

Im trying to write a Unix FTP batch file within a program called SAS. Now i already have one for windows which works fine, but it doesnt work within unix.

I've been told that some of the commands are different from Windows to Unix, and ive looked round and am completely stumped...

Can anyone have a look at the below and tell me which parts need changing:-

Code:
%macro ftp_create_folder(
			host = ,
			user = ,
			pass = ,
			cur_dir = ,
			new_dir = ,
			script_file = temp.txt);

	filename scr "&script_file";

	data _NULL_;

		file scr;

		put "open &host";
		put "&user";
		put "&pass";
		%if "&cur_dir" ne "" %then
			%do;
				put "cd &cur_dir";
			%end;
		put "mkdir &new_dir";
		put "close";
		put "quit";
	run;

	filename scr clear;

	%sysexec ftp -s:"&script_file";
	%sysexec del "&script_file";


%mend ftp_create_folder;

Thanks

Shenn

smp_rep_general

SMP_REP_GENERAL(8)						     SMP_UTILS							SMP_REP_GENERAL(8)

NAME

       smp_rep_general - invoke REPORT GENERAL SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_rep_general	[--brief]  [--changecount]  [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] [--zero]
       SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT GENERAL function request to a SMP target. The SMP target is identified by the  SMP_DEVICE  and
       the  SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. The mpt interface uses SMP_DEVICE to identify a
       HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the additional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

OPTIONS

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -b, --brief
	      reports (prints to stdout) only a few important fields from the response.

       -c, --changecount
	      reports (prints to stdout) the value of the expander change count field from the response. The value is printed in decimal and is in
	      the  range  0  to  65535.  Only  expanders compliant with SAS-1.1 (and earlier) should yield 0. [Expanders compliant with SAS-2 (and
	      later) should set the "long response" bit in the REPORT GENERAL response to 1.]

       -h, --help
	      output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
	      output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.

       -I, --interface=PARAMS
	      interface specific parameters. In this case "interface" refers to the path through the operating system to the  SMP  initiator.  See
	      the smp_utils man page for more information.

       -r, --raw
	      send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All error messages are sent to stderr.

       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
	      specifies  the  SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically this is an expander. This option may not be needed if the SMP_DEVICE
	      has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal. To give a number
	      in hexadecimal either prefix it with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times

       -V, --version
	      print the version string and then exit.

       -z, --zero
	      zero  the Allocated Response Length field in the request. This is required for strict SAS-1.1 compliance. However this option should
	      not be given in SAS-2 and later; if it is given an abridged response may result.

EXAMPLES

       See "Examples" section in http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html

CONFORMING TO

       The SMP REPORT GENERAL function was introduced in SAS-1, with small additions in SAS-1.1 . There have been a large number of  additions	in
       SAS-2 .
