I've read the man pages for FTP, but it just doesn't seem that you can pass it username, password, and get commands and make it all work. Anyone have any idea or suggestions? _______________________________________________ Plug-discuss mailing list - Plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
