Paul,
It can be done with "ftp", you have to use a ".netrc" file. In the example I
upload some files:
- "/home/<user>/.netrc":
#!/bin/ksh
machine <machine name>
login <login name>
password <password login name>
macdef init
cd <upload directory>
mput <files>
close
bye
<empy line>
- In the scripts used you should put the following lines:
cd <download directory>
ftp -i <upload machine name>
- The script should be executed as "<user>".
- If passwords change they have to be changed in the scripts as well.
- Owner of ".netrc" is "<user>" with "600" permissions.
- Security problem is "password" in file!!!
Success,
Reinder

Onderwerp: trying to set up unattended ftp as part of a shell script
I'm trying to write a shell script where part of the functionality is an
ftp. How can I use ftp or a related utility so that I, or someone else
doesn't have to be there to type the password.
I tried
ftp < filename, where filename is a text file that has stuff in it that
I would type at the prompts....no go.
I also tried
ftp host.do.main < filename
I can't use anything like rsh or rcp as this is a very secure
environment that I'm working in. Every box is locked down for the most
part. Most of my activities have to be done via ssh.
I haven't tried sftp, but I'm pretty shure that it's not going to work.
Anyone have any suggestions???
Sincerely,
Paul C.
