help on ftp script

[tabloid]

I have to move a file from the ftp server to another server and then on that file i need to run DOS2UNIX and then generate a new file.With the newfile i need to run a perl script that strips all carriage returns and linefeeds from that file and generate a new file.On that new file i need to run a cold fusion program.
Any help would be much appreciated

Looks like your trying to do a bunch of things with your script. Here is a little snippet relating to the FTP part that might help.

#dataftp
#ftp script
#
ftp -inv <<!
open 192.168.10.1
user username password
bin
get filename # or put #depending on which direction
quit

Also check out the FAQ section under general unix. There might be some useful information listed there. -Danny
