Hi,

I'm writing a script that will ftp a file from one server to another.
At the moment I only have access to one ftp server to test out the script so I'm trying to ftp a file from one folder to another folder in the same directory.

I have the following:

ftp -vin $LOGFILE
open $ftp_SERVER
user $ftp_USER $ftp_PASS
cd $ftp_EFTFROM
lcd $ftp_EFTTO
prompt
$ftp_MODE
mput *
quit

I get the following error:
mput *? Illegal operation. Use the COPY command

Is it not possible to do this??

You cannot do this with the command line FTP client. However you can use the FTP Library:

Look at the FXP sample.
