I don't speak German, but this is pretty much a standard thing. I
assume you mean you actually want to run an ftp script in a shell
script. The common mistake is failing to realize that a shell script's
commands are visible to the shell script, not to ftp or the other
commands you start from that script. You want something like
a) a scriptable ftp such as lftp
b) man netrc
c) some ftp:s will actually read stuff from standard input correctly:
ftp <<HERE
open helloworld.nl
user Thomas
pass Hallo
lcd ....
HERE
d) script your normal stupid ftp client with something like expect
You should also read the FAQ, I believe it has a section on this.
Hope this helps,
