PFTP Shell Script

This example shows a batch script with pftp actions in it.  The use of both single and multiple-file movement commands as well as directory change commands are shown.  We also show the "+" character used to bracket a "here document".  This example assumes that you have a ".netrc" file in your home directory with the appropriate encrypted password.  See HPSS Paswords.
