could you make a bash or tcsh alias for the put command?
Authored by: loren_ryter on Aug 11, '05 10:38:52AM

Here's the modified command as given in one of the replies:

put "| tar zcvpf - username" username_backup.tar.gz

Instead of having to cd to the parent of $home couldn't you put the homepath in the command ?

then couldn't you make a bash or tcsh alias out of it?

then you would just ftp to a backup server and type the alias.
