I live in Sri Lanka and have 2 servers in the USA. Server1 is a Debian Box Server2 is a shared box where I do not have command line access I have several large files that I have to upload from server1 to Server2. I would first ssh to Server1 then as root or as a user I will #ftp Server2 I get a login and password I am accepted as a user. then I give the command mput *.mpeg and the first file will start going Then my ssh will time out before the file is uploaded and I do not have the possibility to say continue with the next file Is there a way of telling my ftp client to do mput without prompting me for the next file name. regards Mettavihari -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
