 "lcd" Within an FTP Script
I'm having a problem changing my local directory
within my Korn shell FTP script.  The FTP script
worked well until I tried adding an "lcd"
command.  My current script looks like this...

HOST=<ip address>
DESTDIR='e:\\ftp\\ftpdest'
SRCDIR=<source directory>

ftp -n -v -i $HOST <<!
user <userid> <userpass>
lcd $DESTDIR
cd $SRCDIR
bin
hash
prompt
mget *
close
quit
!

I get an error message saying that the directory
can't be found.  The directory exists and can be
accessed via a normal FTP session.  Any help with
this problem would be greatly appreciated.

...Colin

 "lcd" Within an FTP Script

I think you have the two directories backwards.  lcd is for changing
directory on the local, Unix machine, while cd is for changing directory on
the FTP server.  e:\\ftp\\ftpdest doesn't look like a Unix pathname, so I
assume it must be the directory on the FTP server running Windows.

Since you're posting to comp.unix.shell, I presume that you are
running this bash script on a unix system of some sort?  If so,
are you sure that the directory with the funny name is a
subdirectory of the directory that you're in when you start up
this script?  Put another way, does:
   ls -1 | grep e:
show the named $DESTDIR directory?

Thanks Barry... You solved my problem.  As stupid as it sounded, I just
continually overlooked it until I got frustrated and wasn't even seeing
the problem anymore.  I appreciate your help.

I don't understand the question.

In our last episode, the evil Dr. Lacto had captured our hero,
  colin_te...@my-deja.com, who said:

Are you running on a Unix machine?

or a Windows machine?

Are you sure you need to double the backslashes inside single quotes?  Or,
assuming that you are using a Unix shell over some version of DOS or Windows,
you might be able to use forward slashes instead of back slashes for the
local directory.
