I do this at work, you use the &quot;here document&quot; operator<br><br>ftp some.host.com &lt;&lt;!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;quote user mlacey<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;quote pass hithere<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;put sourcefile targetfile<br>!<br><br>there's an option you have to specify - but I can't remember it :-(&nbsp;&nbsp;it's in the man page though<br><br>it's also a good idea to use -v (verbose) and capture the output checking for error numbers<br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=

If you want to automate with AIX like client and another system acting like server you can do create a file named <b><FONT FACE=monospace>.netrc</font></b> with<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>machine <b>the_server</b> user <b>the_user</b> password <b>the_password</b><br>macdef init<br>binary<br>cd /some/some/some<br>put /other/other<br>get /another/another<br>bye<br><br></font><br><br>Note: 1. Your macro must be named <i>init</i> to FTP run it automagically.<br>2. You must use <i>ftp the_server</i> exactly like you wrote there.<br>3. There is no intelligence in the .netrc file<br>4. Create the file and set it to rw------- exactly<br>3. If you want to connect to server without running the auto_macro you can use <i>ftp -n the_server[/n]<br><br>I hope it works...

What version of windows are you running?&nbsp;&nbsp;Windows 95/98 do not have an ftp server out of the box.&nbsp;&nbsp;(They do have ftp clients.)&nbsp;&nbsp;You may need to install an ftp server on your windows machine.

hhhmmmm... thanks caliban, too much hastle, may as well schedule an ftp procedure through an ftp client on the windows side of things, never mind, thanks all!!!<br> <p>Karl Butterworth<br><a href=mailto:karl_butterworth@ordina.co.uk>karl_butterworth@ordina.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br><i>I'm slim shadey, yes i'm the real shadey, all you other slim shadeys are just imitating; so wont the real slim shadey please stand up, please stand up, please stand up!</i>

Warning:&nbsp;&nbsp;the .netrc file needs to have inside<br><br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>machine <b>the_server</b> <font color=red>login[/re] <b>the_user</b> password <b>the_password</b><br></font><br><br>But I guess you won´t need that...

Hi Karl<br><br>I'm aware of a small TFTP server you can install on Win9x. It's simple but it is working. That way you can send/receive to/from Win9x/Unix. I've used it - it's simple but it's working.<br><br>This is trivial FTP so not much security is available.<br>If you are interested, I can make a search for the program?
