Full FTP functionality?
Hi All,
I'm working on a complicated install file that can be updated without the need to being re-compiled. A part of it checks some server permissions, uploads and chmods files with FTP.
I was looking a cURL, but it doesn't appear to let you run commands such as 'LIST'. I need to be able to check if a server has a cgi-bin, if a test script executes correctly, etc.
Is there another GPL small command line ftp client I could use for this project?

Also I'm struggling for time with this one. Can some of you be commissioned for projects? If so what sort of costs would I be looking at?


Thanks in advance.

Lyle

ftp -s:macros.txt >out.txt
can give you all ftp functionality. The only problem is black DOS window during communication. If you need a special program for this - I sent PM

I would think you could prevent the console from popping up if you use nsExec. Whether you'd need to use nsExec::ExecToLog/ExecToStack or whether nsExec::Exec is enough, I can't say, though, as I haven't actually used it yet - but the readme suggests that ::Exec will do the trick.
