automated file transfer?

[Rahul Jain]

Hi,

You can put the following lines in your script after you create the tar
file to automatically ftp your file. FYI, COMMANDS is not a keyword.

ftp -n -i remote_machine << COMMANDS
        user username password
        bin
        put file 1
	put file 2
	...
COMMANDS

Hope this helps,
Rahul.
