regarding FTP command

[Former Member]

Could somebody tell me whether below ftp command can be used in Solaris system also.

Currently used in UNIX system inside the ABAP program.

<b>ftp -nv</b>

need to know whether above ftp command can be used just like this in Solaris system.

Hello,

You can directlly run ftp command for Sun Solaris system, for ex .

user> ftp <hostname>

it will prompt you for the user name and paasword.

Hope this will help you.

Best Regards,

Sachin.

Hi Baasha

man ftp on Solaris (Solaris 9 in my case) gives you:

-n Does not attempt "auto-login" upon initial connection.

If auto-login is not disabled, ftp checks the .netrc

file in the user's home directory for an entry

describing an account on the remote machine. If no

entry exists, ftp will prompt for the login name of

the account on the remote machine (the default is the

login name on the local machine), and, if necessary,

prompts for a password and an account with which to

login.

-v Shows all responses from the remote server, as well as

report on data transfer statistics. This is turned on

by default if ftp is running interactively with its

input coming from the user's terminal.

Both switches are available and will do the same like on other Unix flavours.
