Welcome to RobHolland.com

The passwords have been removed for obvious reasons.

The fucntion works now! I couldn’t figure out how to force the user to input a number for the second argument but I figured out a work-around to force the user to input two arguments. If they don’t it will present a message telling them what they need to do. I also had to add a bogus option (xyzpdq) in front of the user names in the “case” section. For some reason the script ignores whatever is in the first position.

sendtoftp() {
if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
echo
echo “————————————–”
echo “| Example: sendtoftp ban11 09122010 |”
echo “————————————–”
