I'm only interested in using ftp to upload. It seems like it could be added to that single command without requiring any changes to running commands. I haven't delved too deeply yet so let me know if this is crazy talk. > Also, FTP is extremely insecure (you realize it sends the password in > clear text, generally, right?). I'd strongly recommend you avoid FTP. Point taken. If I can use sftp I will but I'm trying to move files (via a utility account - not mine) to repository server within the company firewall. Of course this is a server I don't control. > > - Jamis > > On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 8:43 AM, Byron Saltysiak <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I'm surprised that there would be no ftp transport supported so I'm >> writing because perhaps I'm overlooking the obvious.
