Hi guys,

I need help ASAP. I need to write an FTP script that logs on to a remote machine, and copies (or moves) files from one folder on that remote machine to another folder (on the same remote machine). It needs to copy multiple files at the same time.

Do any of your know the command/syntax do do the job?

(Our ftp server is on Linux)

Thanks
HJ

I think FTP isn't a good answer for what you are doing. FTP is a protocol used to transfer files between boxes, not to move or copy files on a machine. Try having your script telnet into the box insead. Then use the mv or cp command.
