I have a file containing my clients articles that weekly needs to be uploaded to a remote UNIX server via FTP and a remote command is used to read the articles into their system (an agency that keeps track of EAN-codes). The people running the remote server gave my client a batch-file to run in order to upload this article file to the server and they've been doing it manually.
The work I do is developing my clients system and I want to automate this file upload. Their system is on an Ubuntu Server, so I've translated the batch-file to a shell-script.
Now, everything works just fine except invoking scripts on the remote server. As soon as the script gets to the command "quote RCMD CALL ..." I get a "500 Command not understood"-error. If I run it frow Windows with the batch-file there is no such error.
I've logged in to their FTP manually and tried to write different quote-commands and none of them work.
I've found people having a similar problem through Googling but couldn't find any solutions.
Does anyone know why this is that the remote command works via Windows but not through Ubuntu?
