This is a good idea. I may need to massage the option name some to make it work. As is, -f would be passed to rm and I'd like to reserve -f for forcing if I ever add prompting. I think it should be more inline with the batch option '-f
Would it be possible to change the behavior of -cmd to read from stdin if no argument is provided? Or possibly you could specify a file format that allows users to include a command in the file.
I think if you are going to read from stdin, you might as well do:
echo "rm file | uberftp
The file format change may be the way to go. If the file doesn't contain an explicit command (like rm
Hi all,
a longer time ago I experimented with passing commands via stdin to uberftp. My goal was to gain low-level protocol access to GridFTP command channels - uberftp has this very nice [l]quote
command. But to really benefit from this functionality, you also need to be able to evaluate uberftp's output during a running session.
I came up with a small howto. And as I recognized this "issue", I thought you might be interested. I've entered the howto into the gtransfer wiki. But maybe it would fit better in UberFTP's wiki, although I then could remove part of the introduction.
@JasonAlt Interested?
Bye Frank
I would like to see the '-cmd' flags work with the '-f' flag. For example, if one would like to remove 50 files with uberftp, simply create a text file 'foo' containing the URLs and then issue the command: uberftp -rm -f foo
