Honored ContributorAutomate FTP
Hello champs, I am trying to write a routine that automates FTP transfers. I was using ftpput in Busybox but it consumes way too much memory. I've seen some examples but they are in ksh...

Honored ContributorI understand that the program called "ftp" is intended for interactive use by a human. I don't think that it's a good idea to try to abuse it for automation.
Unless you find an appropriate uploading command line utility (such as wget for downloading), I suppose you need to write the protocol handling in C (maybe there is a decent ftrp library somewhere, that you can use). ncftp is a package for PCs that containf ncftpput which seems to do what you want. Here http://linux.wareseeker.com/free-thin-ftp-upload/ (http://linux.wareseeker.com/free-thin-ftp-upload/) there seem to be several more examples. You might try to port some of this to NIOS uClinux or extract some code to include in your application. -Michael
