I have a script that opens an ftp connection to a non-*nix system.
I desire to change directories on the host system using a shell variable to set the cd directory. However, I cannot seem to discover how this is done.
Check the FTP configuration file on the remote server. There might be a block to stop you moving-out of your log-on FTP directory.
more likely, the ftp program is processing his command lines, and it doesn't know anything about $parameter substitution.
I suggest using wget or lftp or similar rather than conventional ftp.
