The first thing I'd suggest is using one of the script-oriented FTP tools that was designed to work this way, like "ncftpput". But to answer your general question, there's a shell construct called a "here script". It works like this: command_needing_input <<EOF input 1 input 2 ... EOF You can actually do this at the command line if you want to try it out. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
