No. Ftp can only transfer files. It cannot initiate any "remote execution". REXEC does remote execution. You can also use "ssh" to do that as well. FTP could be used to submit a job which could then run a script. But that would be asynchronous to the execution of the ftp and would not return any results to the ftp session. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
