Just use the full pathname and get a script to generate the list for you, eg 'find'. But you need to know if the directory exists on the remote site.
Anyone know, assuming a shell is not available to the remote host, can you test for the existance of a directory on an ftp site in order to make a decision as to whether to make a directory or not? Something like if [ -d ] dirname ; then do something ; fi but using ftp as the only available protocol? (Actually come to think of it you could possibly use http to first test for this directory's existence if the ultimate aim was to update your website). Regards, Jill. -- Jill Rowling, Snr Des.

It's fairly easy to use ftp in shell scripts. I used to use the following to upload webcam images to the webserver. uploadpic() { ftp -v -i -n $host <<EOF user $ftpuser $ftppasswd binary put $localfilename $remotefilename bye EOF } HTH, -- Peter ---------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ---------------------- This email is intended only to be read or used by the addressee.
