ftp scriptable

[brian goldin @ 2478 [ESRI-Redlands]]

zot,

you probably want to try and use EXPECT it is a tcl based language used
for automating interactive programs like telnet ftp rsh and others.

check out the page @ http://www.sco.com/Technology/tcl/Tcl.html
this page has Tcl/Tk information with plenty of Expect links...

hope this helps..
