ftp not connected problem 4

[FlashGorden]

Hi,
I want to ftp files from the server to my desktom but I keep getting "connection timed out" message followed by "not connected". My script looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
cd $Source
ftp -n -v $MyPCIP << ENDFTP
put $File $File_To
quit
ENDFTP

Any help would be appreciated

Hi
Perhaps the ftp -n isn't allowed and you need to pass
a user and password ?
man pages for ftp :-
-n Prevents an automatic login on the initial connection. Otherwise, the ftp command searches for a $HOME/.netrc entry that describes the login and initialization process for the remote host.

Maybe you don't have an ftp daemon running on your desktop

Sounds like you need an ftp responder running on your PC. I used the one from Guild (see link

and it worked OK.

Good luck
