starting a script

[Maciej Szewczykowski]

i forgot to mention that the script invoked (and supoosed to be run) is first copied to the remote system.
gentlemen, according to what you stated above, is there some way to activate remote script via ftp?

Maciej,

The only way I can see to run it on the remote host would be to take the commands out of the remote script and put them into the first script.

No, you cannot remotely run scripts via ftp - it would be really bad for security!

You could use remsh to run the script. There are security issues with using it, other people will be able to give you other recommendations, perhaps using SSH.

NO, you cannot invoke the remote script using FTP commands!

after the ftp commands use remsh to trigger the execution.

Dear Pete

thanks a lot, but the problem is a bit more complicated than it seems to be.
this script aims at creating archives on the remote system, once it's done, the archive has to be transferred to the local host.
as you see, a part of the commands should be executed by the local host, another part by remote. therefore i'm afraid i cannot settle this matter with one script only.

Then it sounds like the remsh solution is the only remaining option.

hi,

Take a look at Mr. Steele's post in this URL:

seems that you have your solution here!
