Since 2002 we've been maintaining a system that was meant to be an interim system designed to last about two years until the legacy application was replaced. Now, 8 years later, part of the process we've been using, the ftp process, must be changed in order to meet security requirements.

We've been using regular ftp, using a script file, to ftp zipped up files to a remote unix box. A cohort of mine thought of using curl, but it looks to me like this sort of scripting isn't possible.

Really, all we need to do is to change to the appropriate remote directory, ftp a file in binary mode, and then do a ls or dir on the unix box to confirm the transfer was successful. The directory listing needs to be captured and saved into a log file in Arev.

If anyone has done something like this with ftps from Arev, can you please let me know how you did it? Thanks.

I replaced the FTP from MS with a free command line FTPS one, and then created the scripts from AREV and called the scripts…

You should be able to use a SSL wrapper like STunnel

Wrote a FTP client in VB6 callable interactively from Windows, or optionally in batch mode from REVG. The trick was to write the transfer code in the window open event and then close the application prior to seeing the first screen. Drop me a line on FB.

Which replacement client did you use?
