ftp and mapper

[Cynthia He <ch...@Insight.com>]

Hi all,

I have several properties that point to files in a deep directory structure.
I am trying to put all these files in a remote ftp server directory
directly, without all the sub directory structure.  Since ftp task does not
support mapper, what can I do to achieve this?  Is there something like
unix's basename command?

Thanks for any help.

The cheap solution is to copy the files into a local
temporary directory, flattening them there.  Then FTP the
files from the temp directory and finally blow away the temp
dir.  Its a hack, but it will always work.
