cURL recursive FTP upload

Hi,

I work on two hosts, [1] with online ftp access, and [2] without ncftp installed, but with ssh access.

Now I need to recursively upload a folder from [2] to [1]. So I can't use hardfeed - which is for downloading

I think I can use a

find ./orig -exec curl ftp://pinshosting.net

But I'm not so so known with the params of find and curl to get it working recursively. Any hints?

Have you considered using 'cURL' in conjunction with 'find' - in the latter consider '-exec' command line switch.

YES! That was exactly my question; how to do that....

What is the question ? The combination of find + cURL allows cURL to be called for each file separately.

Have you read 'find' manpage ?

so i made a bash script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

ftp_site=ftp.yoursite.net

username=my_user_name

passwd=my_password

remote=/path/to/remote/folder

folder=$1

cd /path/to/local/folder/$folder

pwd

ftp -in <<EOF

open $ftp_site

user $username $passwd

mkdir $remote/$folder

cd $remote/$folder

mput *

close

bye

and called it with

Code:

find . -type d -exec ./recursive-ftp.sh {} \;

seems to work.
