With ftp in a pipe, you can only retrieve.

Strange. I do backups on a server located at Strato using ftp(1)
and dump(8). I do this every day via cron(8). So either you're wrong
or I'm doing what's impossible.

ahh, I missed paragraph 2 of 'file naming conventions' in ftp(1).

(echo "cd /pub/incoming
put |dmesg dmesg.txt") | ftp -a some.server

I still can't work out how to pipe the output directly through ftp but this is better and less confusing anyway. Thanks for the prod.
