It does, provided you use mput instead of put. It will then ask you the windows-style "are you sure?" for each filename that matches the regex, which can be gotten rid of by "set prompt off". That said, it is a bit quirky to use FTP via cron - you will have to use either here docs or an expect script. Ah, not to forget - FTP (and not SFTP), sends data in clear text and should never be used when SSH is an alternative. Most Security Analysts I know look down upon using FTP to transfer files between *nix nodes. But that's going off on a tangent.... Regards, NMK. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
