Easily upload files via FTP from scripts etc.
Just a quick note to let you know that this perl script:
http://unixwiz.net/tools/ftpput.html
works perfectly out of the box on OS4.1 if you have the SDK installed (the SDK comes with Perl). Simply download it somewhere as ftpput.pl, and do something like:
1.Workbench> perl ftpput.pl --server=ftp.example.com --verbose --user=username --pass=password --dir=/whatever file1 file2
Which could come in handy for DOS scripts etc. I've just used it from a C program via IDOS->SystemTags().

I must have missed something. What's wrong with just using the regular ftp command line tool?
It worked for me, even without the SDK installed.Posted 09-17-2009 at 06:01 PM by Karlos

You can't use it from scripts. Or, well, you could, but you'd have to pipe commands to/from it.
A specific example: I was using magpierss to automatically syndicate this blog to my homepage. Its a pretty cool PHP script that does caching etc. to minimise traffic from the original host, but for some reason it stopped working for several days.
I've just written a simple program for OS4 that downloads the rss feed with wget, generates a new index.php and uploads it to my server using this perl script.
Its not quite as nifty as magpie, since the syncing of my website to this blog is now manual, but its just one click of an icon in AmiDock and its done with no user intervention.Posted 09-18-2009 at 01:33 AM by xeron

Speaking of pipes, isn't there a unix-alike pipes hack for amigados that allows bar separated commands? IIRC, it also creates IN: and OUT: (or something like that) as logical devices for redirection...

Always used ncftpput for such tasks here, as for pipes there are a few solutions on aminet (not hacks, think I used util/shell/Pipe-1.5 here).

Curl and Wget are available on OS4 ;-)
