- I am creating software which will allow me to automatically (in batch) log
- into a remote system (which requires passing several prompts) and then
- downloading some files by entering a given command. The filenames will
- change day to day (but in a predictable way). I am looking for tools
- which will help me do this. I am currently using Kermit but I need more
- capability (like Crosstalk or Blast in the PC world). A C or C++ library
- would be ideal, because I need to use language constructs (if, while) and
- variables as in
-
- repeat 10 times
- dial phone no
- if successful then break
- sleep 10 minutes
- end
-
- Can anyone recommend software which can help me? I'm especially interested in
- any public domain software. My system is Unix, the remote system is not.
