lets say you've got 100 domains on a server...

let's say you've got a file or two to upload to 99 of them.

is there a prog/script/method of getting that single file uploaded to all of them in one step without having to drag & drop 99 times?

thanks.

Upload it once and then use a shell script to copy it to all the places you want it to go.

If these 99 domains regularly share files then they should
do just that - SHARE one copy of the file.
You can give it 100 names in 100 directories using the
Linux command "ln".
Normally you do this by having each domain have a directory symlinked
to one shared directory.

Otherwise there are probably 100 ways to do it.
If you just need to do it once it's probably easiest to just have
a geek like me do it for you. Even if you don't have shell
access I have a programmable FTP system.
