I believe I tried the -n and < inputfile method first, and that kept hanging as well, So I went with the PERL method; which didn't help either.
I logged into a PC using logmein over the internet, then from that PC I logged into UV (on an NT server) using Wintergate and then once logged In, I did the DOS command to get to dos, and tried to use ftp from there. The strange part was that the ftp process hung as well, the next day, they needed to reboot the UV NT server because Wintergate wouldn't Let anyone log onto the server as well. So, there a bunch of potential culprits here....No one mentioned that it as asking for a deny/allow on the server either, so I really don't know. My workaround by having the PC do the ftp and dropping it into a folder that the UV server had access to worked, so I never looked into it further. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Robert Porter Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 10:07 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Universe's DOS command Probably so from what you were describing... I was speaking to the expecting input causing it not to close. The ftp client on the version of Windows and 'nix'es I've used immediately prompt for username and password at the open command. The "-n" stops it from doing that, then you can use "user (name) (password)" to login. I've also seen credentials in the hostname, but I'm not sure that every ftp client will use that. I've had good results with the "-n" and "user" command combination.

I also tried to run a perl program that was "compiled" to open an ftp connection and download test data, And that process hung as well. Which is what made me think the server popped up a prompt to allow/deny The process from accessing the internet (and of course, no one is at the server during the night). _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
