"host" works for me (SQL*Plus 9.2.0.1.0). On Unix "!" is alternative
syntax.

Subject: FTP from inside sqlplus... I can't get it to work anymore...


I use to have a script that would be able to use the "host" command to drop
to Unix shell and then ftp a file and then pop back up to sqlplus. I can't
seem to get it to work and I know it can be done. HELP me before I jump!
