ftp status

Vogra — Wed, 18 Jul 2001 19:55:09 GMT

Hi All!
I have a HP9000-D270/2 with UX10.20 and when I run a ftp client script from microsoft DOS, after a execution, the ftp window is closed.
The same situation running on HP9000-A500 with UX11.0 (64b) don't have same results. After the execution, the window require a user action to close. It's possible the second case to be same to first?
Thanx.

Claudio,

I'm not sure how you're running your MS-DOS batch file, is this executed from Windows? If so be sure to check the settings on the shortcut as it may be the culprit here.

If you're running it straight from DOS then it could be a difference with the ftpd server itself. HP-UX 11.0 now uses wu-ftpd as its default ftpd server, while 10.20 used some other version I'm unsure of. The difference between the two should not cause a script to function differently though.

Is it the same exact script that you're running to connect to both servers? Do you pass it the hostname on the command line, or is just the hostname changed in the script?

A sample of the script may help determine what is going on. Thanks.

- Mike

Hi

It nothing but windows settings only. Right click on the ftp shortcut, Go to program tab, select "close on exit". Now try it out.
