  • ftp ls command substitution

    Posted on

    Hi,

    I'm wondering if there's a big difference using FTP on HPUX & Linux ?

    In HPUX (B.11.11), I'm able to use the following (??? substitution)
    ftp> ls rep.*
    200 PORT command successful.
    150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls.
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 justme adm 101962 Jul 6 2010 rep.log
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 justme adm 896 Jul 6 2010 rep.sh
    226 Transfer complete.
    ftp> ls rep.???
    200 PORT command successful.
    150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls.
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 justme adm 101962 Jul 6 2010 rep.log
    226 Transfer complete.
    ftp>
    ?Invalid command
    ftp> ls rep.??
    200 PORT command successful.
    150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls.
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 justme adm 896 Jul 6 2010 rep.sh
    226 Transfer complete.

    In RedHat Linux, I'm not able to use the question mark (?) substitution. Are there any fix or is it a limitation ?

    ftp> ls luci.*
    227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,212,62)
    150 Here comes the directory listing.
    -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 63 Feb 08 2012 luci.txt
    226 Directory send OK.
    ftp> ls luci.???
    227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,39,247)
    150 Here comes the directory listing.
    226 Directory send OK.

    Any advise would be helpful.

    regards,
