Jailbait Scripts for pppd & ftp help
writing scripts for jailbait

New MessageJailbait Scripts for pppd & ftp help (modified 0 times) northstar
Profile | Email
I am trying to write a single script to run in jailbait which automatically does the following:

1. runs ppp-up to dial & login to ISP.
2. connects to server via ftp and downloads X number of files (jpegs).
3. logs off ISP (ppp-down).

I have failed to get this to work with all script attempts.

Has anyone done something like this that they could post? or up to the challenge?

Thanks!

I dunno about FTP, but HTTP would be pretty easy.

lynx http://wherever/path/to/file.jpg -dump > file.jpg

For FTP, have you tried ncftp? The following webpage looks promising:

"This is for people who want set up a shell script that will run with no user interaction and will ftp some files..."
