Post subject: terminal ftp
Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>system (more info?)
I am using the terminal in MacOS 10.2.6. I have a saved a term file
which I use to invoke the ftp command. The command string is:
ftp myidn DeleteThis @www.mysite.com

What I'd like to be able to automate is the setting of the remote path
and the local path. I have tired:
ftp myidn DeleteThis @www.mysite.com:directory/subdirectory

but I get an error when I do this.

Thanks

Robert

Try using a regular FTP URL:

ftp <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="ftp://myidn@www.mysite.com/directory/subdirectory" target="_blank">ftp://myidn@www.mysite.com/directory/subdirectory</a>

Or write a shell script which includes any FTP commands you like, for
example:

sftp <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mysite.com" target="_blank">www.mysite.com</a> <<EOF
cd <wherever you want on the remote machine>
lcd <wherever you want on the local machine
get and put statements as you choose
....
EOF
