Hello, I am trying to dispatch a file automatically to another server at a given time. The Cron scheduling is obvious, but what is not obvious is a practical way of invoking an FTP agent to do the transfer. What I am thinking of is the reverse of NCFTP's colon mode of file fetching (ie. ncftp site.name:file.name). The script will also have to send a user name and pwd. Accomplishing this is not at all obvious. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance. John Clark [email@john.net]
