[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello All, I would like to know is there any possibility that by using Cron one can automatically ftp to another server? My idea is: a) Set time; say after every 30 minutes run cron job b) Ftp to another database server (in this case the server runs on solaris 2.6). Directory is /pub c) Extract new data from that d/base server & put it in my Freebie server; say directory /pub/something d) Mark a time "tag" on each new data If it can be done so, how? Is there any configuration script sample that I can refer or any site that you can point to? All advise is much appreciated.
