Seems that netcat would be a better replacement for ftp for your case. It can read from pipes like so: your_command_here | nc -n 10.0.0.130 1000 (would send the output of your_command_here to host 10.0.0.130, port 1000, to a listening netcat there, which would presumably write its input to a local disk file) By the way, please don't top-post, it messes readability and loses context for the archives. -A -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
