I'm trying to write a script that'll upload a tree from my machine to a remote ftp server. So far, i've managed only to find the 'ftp-upload' package in the debian archives. It's not goot enough because it can't tell the difference between files and directories. So, before I grab it's source and hack it to do what I want, does anybody know of a script that will upload a bunch of files and directories to an ftp server?

ncftp has a utility program, ncftpput


ncftpput -u username -p password -R ftp.server.com /pub/files dir1 dir2 dir3 file1 file2



enjoy.

if you want to use the standard ftp.exe that every machine on the planet has, you can do this:

somefile.txt:open servernameuserpasspromptpassiverput [forget syntax - google it or go into ftp command line and type help]byeupload.batftp -s:"somefile.txt"

ncftpput did it.

standard ftp doesn't work with directories.

I wrote a quick script in Python that tarred and gzipped a directory heirarchy before uploading it to FTP. Don't have access to the source code at the moment, but its pretty short. Just use the ftplib and tarfile standard libraries.
