FTP command

[Nikee Reddy]

Hello,

Is there any similar command in FTP mode like
ls | grep dw ???

Thanks,
Nikee

Nikee,

You can do an ls dw* in ftp, but not the grep function. ftp has very limited functionality as to what you can do inside the ftp shell.

No, you would have to capture the entire ls output and then grep it on your client end.

This would be trivially easy using Perl's Net::FTP module.
