typing 'prompt' will disable the prompt during an interctive session. Most ftp clients allow for the '-i' flag in a script to disable prompting. Check man ftp for your client.

David, Thanks for the reply. 'prompt' doesn't work. Please give me another suggestion. Ex: rm -i test.txt (by the way, rm -i is a company standard alias... I'm not suppose to change it... grrrr...)
