Hi

I am having problems getting SITE EXEC to work with wu-ftpd-2.4.2-b16 under
Linux.

I would like to be able to download a file to a Linux box and then initiate
a shell script on the Linux box to process the downloaded file.  I thought I
could use something like SITE EXEC bash filename.sh.  When that command is
issued the ftp server returns

200-bash filename.sh
200  (end of 'bash filename.sh')

However the script file hasn't run.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Austin
