			First, thanks to everyone who are answering my initial query. I tried to run a very simpl
e script and got the following message:

			

			Error: can't find package ftp

			    while executing

			"package require ftp "

			    (file "test_ftp_1.tcl" line 3)

			tom.vericlaim.com> 

			

			Obviously something very basic is going wrong. Can anyone tell me how to tell if I have t
he ftp package and how to install it if I don't?

			We have used the ftp client in tcllib in fairly heavy (100s+ Mb), daily, production use f
or the last couple of years with no real issues (it can die somewhere in its guts if there a
re connection problems at the other end - never found out exactly where or why, but know if 
it happens then there are problems at the other end.)

			

			Running on Windows, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.

			

			What has worked well is having a job that is purely responsible for sending the files - k
eep the ftp out of your other script(s).

			

			Your "client" script(s) build a list / database of files to be transmitted, and then your
 ftp script tries as many times to send the files as you want to try.  That way your FTP log
ic can be kept in one place.  Make sure you check results and use catch.

			

			Other than that, it works as it says on the packet ... http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/
ftp.html

			Hi Gene,

			

			There's an FTP package available as part of Tcllib which may well do what you need. You c
an find the docs for it at http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/ftp.html - it's pretty simple t
o use, and has always worked well for me in the past. I have occasionally had issues with th
e timing out unexpectedly, though, and although they never gave me any major problems (I was
 using it manually), you might need to watch for that more carefully in an automated program
. 

			

			Regards,

			Mike

				All,

				            I've never used FTP inside tcl. I am running TCL 8.2 on UNIX boxes and 8.4 o
n WINDOWS machines. I am planning on using TCL to run as a scheduler and on of the things th
at will need to be done is moving files between platforms. Any advice on how to approach thi
s would be most helpful.
