Dan,
You have made my life considerably easier.
I used the -v and low and behold, terminal indicated I was in fact
connecting successfully, but the file I was uploading was a
duplicate, therefore it was not processing it. After repeated
discussions with the vendor, never once did he indicate that the ftp
server would not overwrite existing files even though he knew I was
using the same file over and over for testing.
That appears to have resolved the issue.
You help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
