hi list,
i try to upload some stuff to an ftp from a patch using the shell object but for some unknown reasons it just doesn't work as expected ...
the working command is
lftp -e "open some.site.net && user username pass && cd www && put ftp.png && exit"
but when i send this message to the shell object i get this error: executing
read(0): Bad file descriptor
is there some parsing or something else limitations with this object ?
+! aym3ric.
PS: another working command (among others..) is
lftp -e "user username pass && cd www && put ftp.png && exit" some.site.net
but then i get
executing lftp: username: Unknown host Usage: user userid [pass]

to me it looks rather like a problem with the file ftp.png itself; are you sure the file is found ? (as i remember the [shell] defaults to some unexpected(?) home-directory - like "/" or "~") does it work when you try to *get* something from the ftp ?
and of course there might be a problem with the quotes.

I normally use shell to call shellscripts. This way you can get rid of Pd's parsing problem and actually implement what you want to do in a scripting language of your choice. At the same time you can get rid of unwanted output from the commands that you call.
The default directory of shell is the directory where you started pd. (Not the directory of the patch ... which is a bit ugly).

thanks for your replies,
indeed, shell is initialised in the directory where pd has been started and when i send it some ls/pwd i can see the file. downloading instead of uploading (using similar command lines) leads to same problems more or less.
i will try to call the command from a script then.
