NAME

ftp-cp - copy files from from one place to another using passive mode ftp

SYNOPSIS

ftp-cp host1 host2 script [:debug=true]

DESCRIPTION

ftp-cp Loads the script file and then establishes ftp control connections to the servers at host1 and host2. The values of environment variables hostX_USER and hostX_PASS are used to log in to the ftp servers, or the interactive user is prompted for input as required.

The script file is loaded as lisp-format data, containing expressions that indicate file transfers, or that evaluate to a list of file transfer specifications, for example:

("filename1" -> "filename2")
("filename1" <- "filename2")
(mapcar (lambda (x)
          (list (string-append "/home/gjc/ftp/" x)
                '->
                (string-append "/usr/users/gjc/ftp/" x)))
        '(data.1 data.2 data.3))

EXIT STATUS

Errors result in a non-zero exit status.
