Utility lftp provides the ability to run commands from the file and as such is the best for scripting ftp sessions.
Netdrive and similar FTP filesystems allow using regular commands to send and retrieve files from remote server. Windows 7 supports FTP filesystem nativly.
BTW regular, "classic" ftp client is also scriptable via I/O redirection.

When you host your web site remotely and and the ftp server is the only way to upload all files including subdirectroies. You need to use special file transfer program such as ncftpget or ncftpput for recursive remote ftp server uploading and downloading purpose. Ncftp is considered as an improved FTP client. Ncftp's improvements include support for command line editing, command histories, recursive gets/puts, automatic anonymous logins, and much more.
... ... ...
The syntax is as follows:
ncftpput ftp-host-name /path/to/remote/dir /path/to/local/dir ncftpput -options ftp-host-name /path/to/remote/dir /path/to/local/dirTry the ncftpput client command as follows:
ncftpput -R -v -u "username" ftp.nixcraft.biz /nixcraft/forum /tmp/phpbbWhere,
- -u "username" : Ftp server username
- -v : Verbose i.e. show upload progress
- -R : Recursive mode; copy whole directory trees.
- ftp.nixcraft.biz : Remote ftp server (use FQDN or IP).
- /nixcraft/forum : Remote ftp server directory where all files and subdirectories will be uploaded.
- /tmp/phpbb : Local directory (or list of files) to upload remote ftp server directory /nixcraft/forum
You can pass the password with -p option:
ncftpput -R -v -u "username" -p "passwordHere" ftp.nixcraft.biz /nixcraft/forum /tmp/phpbbYou can use port number 2021 instead of the default FTP service port # 21 as follows:
ncftpput -R -v -u "username" -p "passwordHere" -P 2021 ftp.nixcraft.biz /nixcraft/forum /tmp/phpbbSee also
- See ftptreeupload.bash script to copy all files and subdirectories recursively and upload them to remote FTP server (copy local all directories/tree to remote ftp server).
- ncftpput client can be downloaded from http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/ and works with FreeBSD, Solaris and all most all UNIX like variant.

Manually transferring a file or files via FTP is a common and convenient method for moving data from one computer to another, especially if it's a non-recurring event. But the reality is there are many times when an event is recurring and calls for immediate automation. This can be done by using a simple UNIX script file, which can then be executed via command line interface or added to the crontab. In the example below, I'm FTP'ing binary type files (pictures) from a local computer to a remote while logging the activity.
Note: Some organizational policies may not allow login/password information in a script file.
# vi myftp.sh #! /bin/sh REMOTE='esoft' USER='anyuser' PASSWORD='myftp125' FTPLOG='/tmp/ftplog' date >> $FTPLOGftp -n $REMOTE <<_FTP>>
Run via CLI
# ./myftp.sh
Add it to the crontab
# crontab -e

Some things to consider when running "Services for Unix" SFU:
-Downloading the package is around 250 Mb.
-SoftMikky does not allow download resume.
(this can be quite a problem if you download with a 56k modem or alike)
-Besides C, Korn shell & FTP server, SFU is also NSF client & server, PCNFS server,
Telnet client & server, NIS server.
-Users have to be set up or synchronised.
Possible, but all a bit much preparation for a small java app to run on every NT machine.

Feb 15, 2005 8:25 AM (reply 6 of 7) Sounds like your working in a mixed O/S environment.
From my experience it is probably easier for you to set the job running from NT and have your NT box ftp to your Solaris box, get the JAVA file, run the JAVA file and have the NT box ftp the results back to the Solaris box. This is very easy to configure:
Create a simple text file called ftp.txt in c:\ on your NT box. Add the following lines:
ftpaccount
P4s5W0rD
lcd c:\where\you\want\the\JAVA\file\to\run\from
hash
bin
cd /dir/with/JAVA/file/in/it
get JAVAfile
close
bye
Save this text file.
The first line is the UNIX account you will be logging into on the Solaris box;
The second line is the password for the UNIX account;
The third line switches to the local directory on your NT box where you want the
JAVA file to sit;
The fourth line tells ftp to turn on hash marking; the fifth line tells ftp to transfer
files in binary mode;
The sixth line changes to the directory in which your JAVA file is held;
The seventh line gets the JAVA file (replace JAVAfile with the name of the file)
The eight line closes the connection to the Solaris box;
The ninth line ends the ftp utility on NT.
Create a second txt file called ftp2.txt and add the following commands:
ftpaccount
P4s5W0rD
lcd c:\where\the\results\file\sits
hash
bin
cd /dir/where/results/file/needs/to/be/put
put resultfilename
close
bye
The first line is the UNIX account you will be logging into on the Solaris box;
The second line is the password for the UNIX account;
The third line switches to the local directory on your NT box where the JAVA result file sits;
The fourth line tells ftp to turn on hash marking; the fifth line tells ftp to transfer files in binary mode;
The sixth line changes to the directory on the Solaris box in which you want your results file to sit;
The seventh line puts the results file on the Solaris box;
The eight line closes the connection to the Solaris box;
The ninth line ends the ftp utility on NT.
Now create a bat file to run the ftp-scripts and execute the JAVA file ie ftp.bat.
Add the following lines:
ftp -i -s:"c:\ftp.txt" 10.1.18.208:
<next line needs to be the DOS command to run the java file on NT ie c:\Temp\DMS0104\jinit11819.exe
-s -m>
ftp -i -s:"c:\ftp2.txt" 10.1.18.208:
where 10.1.18.208 is the ip address of the Solaris box
whenever you need to run the script at the command prompt run c:\ftp.bat, or you can schedule it to run using the "at" command.
If I haven'e explained this very clearly look in BigAdmin scripts or search the net as there are hundreds of examples of ftp scripts.
