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.

Dear Mettavihari:
I don't know which 'ftp' server application is being used at your
servers, but
here are some commands I have used:
binary ( to make the circuit work with non-text/ascii/... data)
prompt (this toggles prompting between files)
hash (this displays an octothorpe "#" for each SIZE bytes transferred ).
passive (allows 'dir' and 'ls' commands through a firewall or proxy)
# ftp -p -i hostname
"-p and -i" invokes 'passive' and 'non-interactive' from command line.
HTH, Chuck
