The ftp client ships with Linux is scriptable. Just put the commands that you would normally type into a file. It might look like this: open ftp.mydomain.com lcd /some/local/dir cd /some/remote/dir binary prompt mput * quit See the ftp man page for a description of all commands. If the server requires a login, create a ~/.netrc file with permissions 0600 that contains the login info (man netrc): machine ftp.mydomain.com login myname password mypassword Then run ftp with the script as input: ftp < myftpscript Tony - -- Anthony E.
