ftp will be going on though terminal will be closed

howdy expert,

I have a big file arround 4 gb to ftp from a sun solaris server.

I would like to have script which will start copy the file though i close my working terminal.

regards,
purple

write that full ftpying thing inside a shell script
then run that as

nohup scriptname &

no matter what it will run

try screen command,
it has got more control over nohup command

screen may not be there in all the versions/shells

nohup worked well. Thanks buddy.
