Hi I'm telnetting into a linux box(box a) and from it I want to ncftpput a file to another linux box(box b) but I keep on getting an error:
Could not change to directory /pos/stftp61/:server said: No such directory

Now, I know the directory exitsts, I can telnet from box a to box fine, I hanve done a chmod 777 * in /pos/ on box b and still I cannopt get it to work.
My command is :ncftpput -u username -p password path /pos/stftp61/ /pos/stftp61/filename

I have also tried: ncftpget -u username -p password path /pos/stftp61/filename /pos/stftp61/
from box but it cannot find the file as well.


The reason I'm using ncftpput is to be able to include it in a script file and let it run automatically.

Thanx
Nicki

Hi again

I figured it out, telnetting to another machine I was logging in as admin, you cannot telnet in as root as far as i know.This was also true for ftp'ing so only the /home/admin folder is available to ftp to.
