Hi all, hope you’re doing well.

Ok, I have this little issue about ftp over Solaris

Statement: we have two boxes, one called B1 and another called B2, lets say Im using B1 as local machine and Im ftp’ing to B2, if I want to move to a directory in B2 I can use ‘cd’ command and for listing directory I can use ‘lcd’, all this on B2 machine.

Do you know what command to use to list the directory on my local machine (B1) and see what files/folders are in there ?

I appreciate any help you can provide me.

Thanks.

Don´t freak out until you know the facts...Relax...!

!ls -l

?

hi,

!<command> applies to the local machine - ok.
But lpwd / lcd apply to the local machine as well, so in AKAs case the lcd should apply to machine B1 and not B2.

The 'lcd' command operates to the B1 box also, but it doesnt show the content of the current path like 'ls-l' would do, it shows you the path on which you are on the local machine as 'pwd' would do.

What I need is to see the content on the B1 (local machine) as in 'ls -l'.

Don´t freak out until you know the facts...Relax...!

b/w Razor, 'ls -l' shows the content for B2, not B1.

Yes, ls -l would show the contents of the remote server.

But I didn't say ls -l, did I? I said !ls -l.

THANK YOU very much Razor.

That is what I was looking for.
