Hi,
Can one do something like ls|wc on a ftp-server? The ftp command set does not include wc.
I have uploaded lot’s of stuff to a net drive and I would like to check the completeness of the files uploaded without counting them by hand.
Cheers.

Your ftp client probably has command syntax to redirect the output of ls to a local file. You can then run wc on that.
Cheers.
I had thought of something like that myself but dismissed it as being too unlikely to be true. Will try as soon as I get home tonight.
Regards.

Connect to the ftp with mc (Midnight Commander).
You can select files on both sides, and compare.
