Automate 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...

Here's an option: on your PC, create a file named autoftp with the contents:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>ftp -v -n <<EOF

open $1

user anonymous passwd

binary

lcd /home/jars/microvote/eclipse/firmware/bin

put $2

bye</div>

Make this file executable using:

chmod 777 autoftp

Then you just have to type something like:

./autoftp 192.168.2.3 myapp

Hope it helps,

Ricardo.
