splitting a ftp connection string to it's parts

Expand Post »

Hello everybody,

I've got a small problem
I need the following string to be split into it's parts:

Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

ftp://user:pass@host/path

the result should be smth like:

Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$USER = user
$PASS = pass
$HOST = host
$PATH = path
$USER = user
$PASS = pass
$HOST = host
$PATH = path

Somebody has help for me?
Would be nice

Alternative I could also use a ftp shell enabled ftp client that "eats" the whole string (like old ncftp versions)

I can't use ncftpget / put because:
1. I want to delete files on the target server
2. The target server is a microsoft machine and doesnt work with with ncftput :mad:

kind regards

Michel

or else you can use the cut -c option to cut the string into its parts.
