Does anyone have a one-shot ftp client that takes all its arguments, (host, username, password, filename, etc), from the command line? I have seen several references to the existence of such a program and now have a need for one. True to tradition I would like to avaoid writing it if at all possible.

Off the top of my head: you might try this It accepts the arguements you wanted usage : shftp address loginname password [file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 file6] -----------------------CUT HERE Beware no comments read manual-------------- #! /bin/sh cat "machine $1 login $2 password $3" >> $HOME/.netrc chmod 600 $HOME/.netrc echo "binary get $4 get $5 get $6 get $7 get $8 get $9 quit" > $HOME/ftp.tmp ftp $1 < $HOME/ftp.tmp > /dev/null rm $HOME/ftp.tmp -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is also a nifty program on simtel20. It dos the same thing but with a timer. "auto-ftp"
