On Thu, Jul 04, 2002 at 11:01:15AM -0700 or so it is rumoured hereabouts,
Paul O'Neil thought:
> Also, recommend simple method to backup files over Internet & ftp?

Simple "here" document...

cd <local/dir>
tar zcf <todays.tar.gz> .

ftp << DONE
open <remote.server>
user <username>
pass <password>
prompt
put todays.tar.gz
bye
DONE

rm todays.tar.gz

Of course, the checks and balances are left as an exercise for the
reader... It's not a nice method, you'd do better using rsync over ssh if
that's available to you...
