I've seen script questions = here before. I seem to have a problem with a KORN shell script I'm using on a AIX box = that ftp's to an NT box. The script makes a macro file that is fed to the = ftp command the script uses and then letter the script rm the macro file. = The part of the script I'm having a problem with goes like this: print prompt > $FTP_FIL = =20 print macdef login >> $FTP_FIL = =20 print "open $FTPSITE" >> $FTP_FIL = =20 print 'user steve\\ftpaix passwd' >> $FTP_FIL =20 # Insert a blank line to denote the end of the macro = =20 print >> $FTP_FIL =20 It's the line: print 'user ecom\\ftpaix m1cr0age' >> $FTP_FIL =20 that seems to create the prob for me. It comes out right with just one = backslash in the file I make, however the ftp shell (I believe) picks it = up as an escape character. I was wondering how to get around this of if = there were even a way to do it.
