I just put up a small website on HostMonster. I've downloaded the .bashrc file that came with the site by default, edited it to add one line
Code:
alias lss='ls -AFhl'
which uses the same syntax and punctuation as three alias lines that were pre-recorded in the file. However, when I log onto the server using ncftp and try to use the alias, I get the message "lss: no such command"
I'm guessing this is a problem with the ncftp software not recognizing the alias in the .bashrc file, but that's just a guess. Anyone have any real knowledge or experience with something like this?
