Hi, all --

Can anybody advise me the command line syntax for FTP to run a script?  I know it's 
something like "FTP -options ftp.server  
desired.script, but I cannot for the life of me remember the options.

Hi Pete,

Beter use this:

ftp -in  script

In the script you can then connect to the server and send user/pass, like

open server.there.com
user name pass
...
..
.
close

thanks.  I remembered the -i, but not the n.  Actually, I tried -ivf, which I think 
was a bastard between FTP and tar.  Oh well, at 
least the programs both have 3 letters!
