Help with 4.3 BSD Ftp command

[Mr. Stanley Cup]

Here is a small example to handle the collecting of verbose mode's chatter.

#!/bin/sh
#
HOST=name.of.host.edu
FILE=/mypath/me/file
#
/usr/ucb/ftp -n -v $HOST << EOFTP > output 2> errors
user the_name the_password
type binary
put $FILE
bye
EOFTP

====================================================

A better suggestion is to use BFTP [Background FTP] instead of FTP.  It
can be retrieved via anonymous ftp from venera.isi.edu.  The latest
version is BFTP.12.

Questions regarding BFTP should be directed to Annette DeSchon
(deschon at venera.isi.edu).  If you use ftp at all, then this is excellent
software to use.  Yes, it is compatible with FTP.  With the distribution,
there *is* a BFTPtool.  Pretty neat I might add.
