SUMMARY

This article shows how to specify an Account control field in an ftp script.

MORE INFORMATION

When a ftp client initiates a connection, the ftp-server sends a USER,PASS access-control command to the client. The client answers with its username and password information. Some ftp servers also require an account for login by sending an ACCT command.

When you are using an ftp-script (ftp -s:script ) on Windows-NT, you need to specify the ACCT field in the same line as the PASS information. The following is an example of a script to handle this ACCT request. This script opens a connection to IP address 11.11.11.11, logs in as MYUSER with MYPASSWORD password and MYACCOUNT account, transfers MYFILE, and then quits:

open 11.11.11.11
myuser
mypassword myaccount
put myyfile
quit
