I have 3 questions RE: ftp all releated:
I am looking for a program/utility or way to do the following:
1. Is there a way to execute a unix command at the remote host while at
the ftp prompt?
I want to obtain a directory listing(including subdirectories) on the
remote server. I need to execute:
find . -type d > dirlist.out
and then ftp this file to the local machine
2. Also is there a way to transfer an entire directory structure
from the remote host to the local machine while retaining the
directory structure on the local machine?
3. Is there a command that will ftp an entire directory structure and put
it all in 1 tar file on the local machine.
boy this sure would be nice!
The remote system is SVR4.2
TIA
Roger
