Re: FTP to LINUX

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tim,

From the FTP client type REMOTEHELP and press Enter.  That command should 
return a list of all 
the supported server commands, one of which is bound to provide a means to run 
a program on 
the Linux server.

REMOTEHELP cmd-name should give you more information about a specific command 
so you can 
determine if it will do what you want.

I'd expect that something like "quote rcmd unixpgm -a -b -c" would work 
assuming that unixpgm 
is in the path.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
