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

io::all::ftp

IO::All::FTP(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 IO::All::FTP(3pm)

NAME

       IO::All::FTP - Extends IO::All to FTP URLs

SYNOPSIS

	   use IO::All;

	   "hello world
" > io('ftp://localhost/test/x');  # save to FTP
	   io('ftp//example.org/pub/xyz') > io('xyz');	    # GET to file

	   # two ways of getting a file with a password:
	   $content < io('ftp://me:secret@example.org/xyz');
	   $content < io('ftp://example.org/xyz')->user('me')->password('secret');

DESCRIPTION

       This module extends IO::All for dealing with FTP URLs.  Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All
       whenever it sees something that looks like an FTP URL.

METHODS

       This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "ftp", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::FTP object; or it can also
       take an FTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('ftp//example.com'), which calls the "ftp" method
       automatically.

OPERATOR OVERLOADING

       The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an FTP URL; > PUTs to an FTP URL.

SEE ALSO

       IO::All::LWP, IO::All, LWP.
