Hello Tony,

RE: HP FTP Client problems

I have not seen cases of FTP.ARPA.SYS not processing the $stdin feed to
it...   I use this method
frequently in all of my regression testing scripts...      I echo the
necessary commands to a file and
then to redirect the file as input to FTP/iX.

sample:

!comment ** begin put **
!  echo user !mylogon2 > temp2
!  echo !mypass2 >> temp2
!  echo debug >> temp2
!  echo binary >> temp2
!  echo del TESTFIL3 >> temp2
!  echo put TESTFIL3 TESTFIL3 >> temp2
!  echo dir TESTFIL3 >> temp2
!  echo quit >> temp2
!  ftp !mydestination2 <temp2 >outb
!comment ** end put **

I would suggest a closer look at your $stdlist to see if you can get a
further idea as to the problem.
