FTP MIB object handler function

Folks,
	Has anyone implemented a file transfer (FTP) or (SFTP) MIB handler function?  What I need to do is have a MIB client set the FTP server address, source file, dest file, username and password through SETS of MIB objects then get or put a file triggered by the SET of another MIB object?


	How do I call the ftp command from my qedTransferAction  handler function ?  I am using Linux....if anyone has implemented this using SFTP that would be a GREAT help!

Thanks!
Rob
