[ale] FTP files

I think earlier in the thread someone suggested sftp and the reply was that the other side only allows for standard ftp.   If sftp doesn’t work then scp typically won’t either.

One can get a tad more security out of ftp by pgp (or gpg) encrypting the files before placing them in the transfer directory.   Also you’d want to jail any login account you gave others to your servers and hope they’re smart enough to jail any they give you on theirs.   The login session is still in clear text but anyone that hacks the login only sees gobbledygook so long as they don’t have the keys and the jail prevents them from seeing anything else.

You did change the ftp command to ftp -i ? That should drop the confirm for mput.

It working, but it only putting one file, the reason it is doing this...

mput dag2.txt? mput dag3.txt?  221 Goodbye.

Is it asking me to enter "yes" for the other files?

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
