Roland, Try this by setting up environment variables at the top of your script:
SERVER1= 10.10.10.10 USER1= 'xxx' PWD1= 'xxx' SERVER2= 10.10.10.20 USER1= 'yyy' PWD2= 'yyyy' Then have this: ftp -i -n << EOF open $SERVER1 user $USER1 $PWD1 cd scripts get <file> close EOF You can then have a section like the one below if you want to copy to a different server other than the one you are running this script from: ftp -i -n << EOF open $SERVER2 user $USER2 $PWD2 cd scripts put <file> close EOF Both of these can be included in the one shell script. Hope that helps. Kev. 'In Windows no one can hear you scream' __________________ Kevin Thomas Technical Analyst Deregulation Services Calanais Ltd.
