You shouldn't need to use ncftp for this (though it is a more full featured client). You should be able to do this using regular old ftp.
If there is a .netrc file in the user's home directory (the user that will be doing the ftp), ftp can use this for autoconfiguration information. A sample .netrc file will look like: machine host_to_ftp_to login user_name password the_password You can also use the macdef function to do some scripted ftp actions automatically. These commands will also be embedded in the .netrc file. The man page for netrc should give you some good information. Then, once you have it automagically working, you can cron it as Garl has mentioned. One caveat to any of these solutions, of course, is that you'll have a credential set sitting around in plain text. Make sure the perms are reasonable for the file (of course, they are going over the line in clear text as well). Jason __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
