You say you can't pipe the output to more or less. What happens. I tried
it and it works OK for me. One thing to note is that you can NOT have a
space between the vertical bar and the following program name (i.e., "|more"
works, "| more" does not).
If you want the output in a file, try: ls . |"cat >output.file"

Subject: FTP More info om more than the screen can hold
I am not running ftp from an X session or a terminal under X I am
running from a console command line,
dir or ls or any other version of ls don't work, and whenever I save
the output to a file ( either ls | /save/filename or ls >
/save/filename) I get an empty file I guess i am more concerned as to
why the file is empty???
I have ftp` ed into a site from the linux command line and have issued
the ls command, but I have 3 to 4 screens full of files, needless to say
I can't read them as they go by, and I can't pipe it to more or less and
the commands I issue to save it`s output to a file don't work. How can
I read the file listing on the remote machine.
thanks
chris
PS I already ran the man page and the books I have and this issue is
NOT addressed
