Hi All,

I needed help with 'fdx' command of Linux. I have to transfer some
files to a https server using fdx command and I'm writing the shell
script as a normal FTP shell script but its not working.

#!/bin/sh
HOST='<url> 443'
USER='<my username>'
PASSWD='<my pwd>'
FILE='<file path>'

fdx $HOST > /tmp/fdx.worked 2> /tmp/fdx.failed  <<END_SCRIPT
USER $USER $PASSWD
cd inbox
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

And the error I'm getting is:
Trying <IP>:443 ... Connected to <URL>
[SSLv3 Cipher AES256-SHA]
/: cannot authenticate with server <URL>
HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
No control connection for command: Bad file descriptor
Lost connection to remote server
Invalid command.
Not connected.
Not connected.

Also I wanted to know the location of .fdxrc file inside Linux box.
Your feedbacks on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

What is the fdx command?  It's not on FC4:

type fdx
bash: type: fdx: not found
