I've got two hosts which allow ssh login, and ftp.
What I want to do is transfer files from one to another without my client system downloading any files. (both have /public_html folders. The files from one need to be xfered to another)
Not sure if ftp client supports wildcard(*).
It does, provided you use mput instead of put. It will then ask you the windows-style "are you sure?" for each filename that matches the regex, which can be gotten rid of by "set prompt off". That said, it is a bit quirky to use FTP via cron - you will have to use either here docs or an expect script.
Ah, not to forget - FTP (and not SFTP), sends data in clear text and should never be used when SSH is an alternative. Most Security Analysts I know look down upon using FTP to transfer files between *nix nodes. But that's going off on a tangent....
