Some have suggested using ncftp or wget to do this. That may be the best way to go. However, it is also possible to do it with plain-old ftp. You have to specify the login and password in a file called `.netrc' in your home directory. Then `ftp' to a host listed in that file can be invoked from a script. See `man ftp' for details. -- David Zelinsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]
