Topic: MB FTP to two different servers? **solved**

[lobsterman]

I have my MB unit working well and wonder if it can be configured to upload via FTP to two different servers? I note I can create a second FTP service but cannot see how to setup the FTP user/pwd details for the second site.

UPDATE: this was just pointed out to me:

When you want to upload data to another FTP server, you can use a fully qualified URL-like FTP notation in the "Path" field. Format of the FTP URI has to be: ftp://user:password@host:port/path. Please notice that none of the elements is allowed to miss. Example: ftp://johndoe:mysecret@ftp.server.com:21/public_html/index.html

Use a "script" event rather than an FTP

OK, I see that option but am not sure how it works. Can you point me to some examples for FTP upload, for example?

I personally have not ttried this n MB, but I _think_ it should work.  Example:

#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.users.qwest.net'
USER='yourid'
PASSWD='yourpw'
FILE='file.txt'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0
