Save system(FTP) alerts to file?

[rxsid]

Hi all,

How could I save the STDOUT that is displayed after a command line issue of system("FTP ..&quot?
I want to be able to capture the screen output of that system call to FTP in a text file.

Thanks in advance!

in unix you don't need perl even

just do

script
here is what you type and what you get back at the console)......
....



exit #when yoy are done)
you get a file typescript
which is the context of everything between script and exit

Thanks for the reply svar.
I'm actually running this script via a scheduler on a windows 2000 machine, so I want to be able to capture (in a text file) the actions going on with the FTP session, as a sort of log file.

Any ideas?

I am not familiar with Win 2000 scheduler. But is this
a full perl script(ftplib) or some internal windows
scheduler?

I run my winnt/tasks/add scheduled tasks daily with a Net ping script to a text file with no problems. Just set your times according to how often you want to run the script similiar to unix cron.
