FTP / SFTP of Backups


Using Voyager to create weekly backups and having trouble with the FTP script.  It seems IPSO 3.7 does not honor a "cd" prior to a "put".  "Put" tries to take the origin path and drop the file in the same destination path rather than the directory I just "cd'd" to. 
e.g. /var/admin/sched/hostname_date.tgz becomes both local and remote paths.
Anyone else have this same behavior?
Nokia support says do it with -
put <enter>  then local: and remote: file definitions manually... 
Tried many forms of newlines and makedef to no avail. 
What really stinks is the level of support you get from Nokia if the task even remotely smells of scripting...
Am I the only one who feels that as an Enterprise partner, Nokia should be a little more interested in automation solutions via scripting? 
Finally, can the FTP be done via SFTP? 
Thanks.

why don't you want to use "scp" to backup configuration? Use private/public and your backup scripts will work without a hitch.  I've been using scp for a long time on the Nokia platforms now without any problems. 


I wish I can say the same thing with Secureplatform.  It seems like CP messed up the private/public authentication or I am just a complete moron (which is entirely possible).
