unix to nt FTP SCRIPT

[ra5467]

anyone know of a good script to accomplish a unix to nt ftp session? i have tried some stuff that i found on here for the default ftp client, but it's not working. also, i have looked into kermit (6.0 is installed) but it's not even being allowed to connect to the nt box (even with tcp/ip as the default protocol). the only thing that will connect manually is the normal ftp client built into unix.

help. thx

Well, ftp itself can be scripted with a .netrc file. I have an example of that at

http://pcunix.com/Unixart/datatran.html

I've used shell scripts to create .netrc files (don't forget to chmod 600 it) and then simply run ftp ntbox to execute the commands. Easier than writing expect (although that and perl and even ksh pipes are other ways to do this)

if you don't want .netrc try this in a script,

ftp -n -v 55.5.5.55 <<EOF
user tiger scott
cd data
put file.dat file1.dat
quit

EOF

I agree expect may be overkill for ftp but perls net:telnet is pretty slick
