[ILUG] tcl question

[Padraig Brady]

Why don't you use the shell like:

#-----------------------------
dest_dir="/tmp"
src_dir="/pub"
remote_server="ftp.nowhere.com"

echo "open $remote_server
user ftp pass at pass.com
cd $src_dir
bin
get porno.jpg
quit" |
ftp -nv
#-----------------------------

I've already done a script that
takes the variables on the command
line and has a passive ftp mode
even if the ftp client doesn't
support it (you need to have a
ftp server on the dest_dir machine).
