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...

open $1

user anonymous passwd

binary

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

put $2

Make this file executable using:

chmod 777 autoftp

Then you just have to type something like:

./autoftp 192.168.2.3 myapp[/b]

Hello Ricardo,

Thanks for your suggestion. I&#39;m not sure I understand it completely. Haven&#39;t got much experience with scripting. Do you think you could explain a little on the code? Would be really nice

I&#39;ll try however to program it. I believe in line /autoftp 192.168.2.3 myapp , myapp corresponds to the file I am trying to send? What is the binary command for?

Thank you very much. Seems this is a light as it can be! Will try it for sure.

Regards,

Francisco
