Can anyone shed any light on this ? Basically I want to be able to schedule an FTP upload from a Windows NT machine, to a website.

I know I can use the "at" command to perform the schedule, but how do I automate the ftp upload ... ?

AT 02:59 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su ftpscript

What I want to automate, is this:

ncftp -u webmaster -p ****** ftp://ftp.website.com/www_html_root/
lcd C:\wwwroot\html\
asc
mput *.html
bin
mput *.jpg
mput *.gif
lcd C:\wwwroot\logs\
cd /www_log_root/
asc
mget *.log
quit

Alternatively, any UNIX bods that might know a way of scripting this for Linux ?

Cheers,

Jon

Save the FTP commands into a text file.

Then use the NT command line FTP client.

Damned if I can remember the exact paramter to use the text file as the command list for the FTP but I know it works. I use the system to grab a DAT update from NAI every day.

Cheers! Solves half the problem

syntax is:

ftp -i -s:ftp.txt ftp.webspace.com

(contents of ftp.txt)
username
password
lcd C:\temp\weblogs
cd logs
asc
mget *.log
mdel *.log
quit

works well, just need to find an equal in Linux, which sadly doesn't appear to support the scripted file thing
