ftp settings

[gary phipps]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there's a way to change the output of the ls command within ftp, in that it I want just a list of filenames rather than a long listing?

Thanks,

Gary

ls (just file names)
ls -l (long list)

it all works with hp-ux ftp.

hi,

I don't think you can customize this. ftpd does a "ls -l" if a file list is requested by a FTP client.

Hi Karthik,

the ls command on it's own gives the long list, that's the problem.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you attempting to use this list in a script?

If you are, look at using Perl, and Net::FTP.

There isn't any way of changing this (and listing files using different FTP severs will give you different results too)!

Thanks for the responses but I've found an answer - the nlist command gives just the filenames.

Gary.
