Has anyone ever used an "automatic" script to ftp files. What I am trying to do is start up a background ftp and have it retry (at intervals) until the ftp is succesful. I have looked at checking the output of the ftp (redirecting a commands file: ftp < whattodo > whathappened). It appears that the whathappened file is empty if the transfer was successful, and has various error messages otherwise. This seems like a hokie method, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/experience with this? please email me: dsuggs@hubcap.clemson.edu thanks for your help! darrell suggs
