Just wanted to let everyone know that I kinda kludged together a script that seems to work for the moment. It's not perfect by any means as it doesn't check to see if the packet downloaded actually successfully imported or
skipped messages. But for now it should do the job. I've attached it below.

#!/bin/sh

HOST='dove.synchro.net'
USER='username'
PASSWD='password'
FILE='vert.qwk'

cd /mystic/localqwk

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
get $FILE
END_SCRIPT

"/mystic/qwkpoll all IMPORT /mystic/localqwk"
rm /mystic/localqwk/vert.qwk

exit 0

I had to put the IMPORT in quotes as mystic uses this as a escape character.

Doesn't Mystic's qwkpoll already do all of that for you? Or were you just trying to replicate it in script form?

I was trying to replicate it in script form. I just wanted to automate it at least a little bit until I figure out what's wrong with my setup using
qwkpoll.
