Automatic FTP upon reboot

[SuperiorCommander]

Hello, I am new to Debian and I was wondering if there is a way to automatically transfer files between one machine to another upon Debian starting (or when a script is executed). Would it be also possible to check a database for a value and if the value exists then files can be transferred automatically (just like reboot). Many thanks!

Sure. Write a script to do <whatever> and then run it at startup. You can even pick between running at system startup and running at login for a particular user.

To that end, try run script startup debian as a Web search.

Thanks for your reply!
Could you provide me with any pointers for creating a FTP script?
Thanks!

A script is nothing (much) more than a set of commands stored for later (re)use. Google linux scripting tutorial for 1.5 million pages that already give all the pointers anyone could possibly need.
