Hello,
I started using curl because i need to switch all my ftp transfers to ftp/ssl.
Everything works fine (ssl and auth with certificates), but there is a
problem with
automated jobs using curl!

I run ftp in many shell scripts and it looks something like this:

ftp username_at_server.com < ftp.in

where

ftp.in looks like this:
cd /input
lcd /input
put input.file1
get output.file2
ls
cd /output
lcd /output
get result.file
mkdir /new
put result.file2
ls
quit

Is there a way to call curl in the same manner?

Something like this:
curl --cert /certs/username.pem --cacert /certs/server.pem --ssl-reqd
-u username: -inputfile ftp.in ftp://server.com
or
curl --cert /certs/username.pem --cacert /certs/server.pem --ssl-reqd
-u username: ftp://server.com < ftp.in

All I could find is:
curl --cert /certs/username.pem --cacert /certs/server.pem --ssl-reqd
-u username: -T /input/input.file1 ftp://server.com//input/
when I want to upload
and
curl --cert /certs/username.pem --cacert /certs/server.pem --ssl-reqd
-u username: -o /output/result.file
ftp://server.com//output/result.file
when I want to download,
but that would mean i have to significantly alter my scripts and there
are many of them!!

Tnx,
Goran
