FTP Command Line Parameters?

[awestmoreland]

Hi there,

I have a regular need to transfer several files from various places to various other places. I'd like to automate the process and therefore wondered if there were a way of kicking off an FTP transfer without needing to physically log into FTP or an FTP Client to submit the commands.

F'rinstance, if I can kick off each transfer from the command line, then I can create a shell script / batch file to transfer the lot.

I'm expecting there to be a way of doing something like:
ftp source_machine user/pass put source_file target_machine user/pass target_file
I may be wanting the moon on a stick though


Cheers,

Andy

You may want to checkout ncftp's ncftpget and ncftpput utilities.

Works something like this:
ncftpput -E -u user -p pass domain remote/dir/ file_to_transfer

That's absolutely perfect! Just what I was looking for

I downloaded the NcFTP W32 Client, glanced at the examples in the NcFTPPut documentation and five minutes later I was up and running. Now I can set jobs off to copy new versions of our software to my server before I arrive at work in the morning.
