Hi,

Brand new to the forum, looking for a basic ftp client for my SLES box. I have a ton of old scripts that are littered with ftps’ and i am migrating to them to a new server . I really dont’ want to have to set up keys for all destination servers/mainframes/etc. I tried ncftp but didn’t seem to get what i wanted and hoped their was a good old fashioned ntp basic client. am i wrong?

Thanks all.

On my test SLES11 SP1 (with OES11 add-on) server I have the lukemftp  
package installed which is an “Enhanced FTP Client”.
