Especially if those guys run every homework task as root, and then maybe even on an old system where root's home directory is /, which would be even more fatal than running it on a (hopefully backed-up) simple user's home directory where only small deltas get lost.

I'm not sure. Well, you may be awfully right and I may have reacted a bit too much too soon and when a while after I posted I read the second post of laxman I felt sorry I had as I now figured he was more sincere than what I thought at first post. Now, on another side you may reckon that my posted solution was an almost exact answer to his request as posted. I admit I introduced a twist in adding the 'cd ' but the rest exactly "moved files from current location to ftp" *and* "generate(d) a log" OK, this was slightly evil but I imagined the poster had the abilities to immediatly see that a 'mv * ftp' was maybe a bit over the top. >> To the OP: don't run this >> unless you want to learn, the hard way, not to run scripts you don't >> understand. that was part of the idea while posting it, other part was "try and describe with correct precision what you really want to do" (as I'm still slightly puzzled about what exact needs he has), I used to play this with some trainees but I confess that doing it on blindfolded and multi-proxemic groups may look (and end-up) nasty. > Especially if those guys run every homework task as root, and then maybe > even on an old system where root's home directory is /, which would be > even more fatal than running it on a (hopefully backed-up) simple user's > home directory where only small deltas get lost. > > Janis that's right, it then would have a third added hidden value in the hard played game ,-> Laxman, sorry, really. For what I understand you want to do I'd recommend you to use extended FTP clients like ncftp[batch] or lftp, that is if you're only interested in the 'urgent' side of your requirements and that it is not a part of a homework you *must* achieve with determined tools. (in which case you'd get more appropriate answers by posting the exact text of the homework, as you posted a PoC some may feel like trying and help a poor soul when worded with a trembling chin and a readable Q&A ;-) |
