[X-Unix] ftp question

[Filipp Lepalaan]

Hi Russel,

Why not use curl instead:
curl -u username:passwod -T localfile ftp://my.server/remotefile

It's also possible with the FTP command, but curl is easier and has many nice features, including automatically creating remote directories (--ftp-create-dirs)


HTH,
