Re: Automating FTP

[Charlie Noah]

Thanks, Tony. I've heard you talk about cURL a number of times. I'll definitely check it out.

It allows for all kinds of transfers, it’s well supported, very stable, very popular, cross-platform, and is easily scripted from MV.   Here are a couple examples that were posted to CDP (RIP) some years ago:   https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.databases.pick/rrU9W1TsN5E/soRBQiwTPNcJ   https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.databases.pick/mQm9tcRh1v8/6DJglzGo-DMJ   I have a great deal of code based on cURL for use with client projects … not for publication in a forum, sorry.   HTH T   From: Charlie Noah   I download images from my bird store supplier using FileZilla (FTP). I want to automate the process such that a Jbase program can download an image if it finds that it's not on my system. I have used AIX scripts to move files around on a network before, but I've never done it in XP. Are there any gotchas I should be looking out for? I currently log in using FileZilla as anonymous, no password and port 21. -- IMPORTANT: T24/Globus posts are no longer accepted on this forum.   To post, send email to jBASE@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email to jbase-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE?hl=en -- IMPORTANT: T24/Globus posts are no longer accepted on this forum.   To post, send email to jBASE@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email to jbase-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE?hl=en
