Lol,
Bad Martin - get a debian-linux-uk-schools. Actually, this list seems to be the only source of non-capita-SIMS info (Linux or not!) and Linux in relation to schools.
I'm only 16 (Sixth Form) - not really involed with "Admin" as such, more our in-house Content Management System (CMS) and our in-house 24 Hour School implementation. (viz: http://www.solented.co.uk/24hs.php)
Anyone else hiding in the wordwork?
BTW: back on topic, apparatentley you can use perl/Net::FTP to make this work.
Just to get back on-topic for a moment. A simple ftp session inside a bash wrapper would do the job very nicely thankyou, and would involve very little programming - just redirect the stdin to a simple heredoc, e.g. #!/bin/bash ftp -ivn remote.ftp.server << %% user username password cd thedirectory lcd thisdirectory mput * bye %% However, using perl and Net::FTP and a simple directory globbing loop would give better control and logging. Alternatively, rsync could do the job, and in theory much quicker as it's only supposed to move the files that change. Personally, I found it slow when I tried to use it for RPM propagation. Gary

I'm 15 and I've had more or less sole administrative responsibility for our school Linux servers for 2.5 years now - there's just no one else in the school has much knowledge of Linux. (BTW, I shouldn't really be on this list - we use Debian.)
