Indeed it is with sockets and using "PUT".

...or, if you don't feel like reinventing the wheel, use the ftp package.

ok, thanks for helping
1 more question, is it possible that it will transfer files through ftps after command from channel and it will show that its complete ?

btw. how to install that ftp package

[tueb]

the following will send the file "backupfile" to the "/whereto/"-folder on "moxquiz.mo-funpic.de"

Code: Select all

set file "backupfile"
exec /usr/bin/ncftpput -V -a -m -f ~/ftpserver.ftp /whereto/ ~/$file

the "ftpserver.ftp"-file has to look like this:

Code: Select all

host moxquiz.mo.funpic.de
user moxquiz
pass supersecretpw

with this, there is no extra installation necessary.

unfortunately, my bot crashed every time, "moxquiz.mo-funpic.de" wasn't reachable.

this will only work if ncftpput is installed and at that location, poor coding to rely on shell commands that can can change location depending on operating system (or may not be installed at all)
using either TCL's socket or 'package ftp' methods are orders of magnitude better for TCL scripts
