Passing variables to ftp script

[JasonCooper]

Hi

I have a Unix script that prompts the user for a response.
I want to then pass this response to an ftp script that will do an mget on all files containing that value in the file names, ie: all FILES.*'user variable'*.
Does anybody have ANY idea howto go about this ?

Many thanks in advance

JC

Thanks very much for your reply, I'm going to tweek the second script and that should sort me out.

Cheers

and by the way, I did spend some time using the keyword search but couldn't find anything Posting a new thread was the last resort.
