RE: Is their Automatic command to send a JPG file using FTP
Thanks so much. One question, I created a .netrc file and put it in the
root (/root) directory and this is what it looks like below. I have
taken out the IP, user name password so no body can use them. Can you
tell me if my syntax is correct and how do I activate this file and is
this file in the right place on the server. Thanks,

Hi,
I am looking to see if there a command or a script In BSD Os that will
allow me to ftp to a server automatically and get a file from another
server. User name and passwd will be already in the script so it will
run ftp and download a file or a JPG from that server. Like in Linux
OS
there is a command using .netrc file and you can script that file and
will automatically do what is in the file at time interval that you
want. Thanks,
In FreeBSD, there's documentation on that; read man ftp and
see the -u option.
I'm often (ab)using a Makefile to upload (send) files per FTP to
a server, and I call this make install. You can put this into
a shell script (sh) and then call it, e. g.
#!/bin/sh
FTPUSER=my_account_name_on_ftp_server
FTPPASSWD=my_very_complicated_password
SERVER=ftp.where_my_stuff_is.foo.bar
UPLOAD=/path/to/files/to/upload
cd ${UPLOAD} ftp -u ftp://${FTPUSER}:${ftppass...@${server} *
Of course, you can utilize .netrc to contain FTP access data. Then,
you just need to call pure ftp with server name, and you can
replace * with any file name(s) you want.
However, be aware that FTP doesn't encrypt passwords. You should
take into mind that using FTP with an SSH wrapper, or even
better - scp - is a more secure way to send files.

RE: Logging Stops after few minutes
Sorry! Didn't mean to be snappy, I thank you for your level head. Basically, this is what is happening the syslog.conf file has the line for all.log to be activated in the directory I chose, which is /usr/log. I know for certain that if I stop and restart the syslogd daemon, it will start writing to all.log and then after few minutes, it will stop and that is it. I have my FTPD daemon setup to record all FTP activity but that is not happening. Please tell me running FTPD as daemon is not the cause or should I run FTP as a service. I have a lot of load due to FTP. Thanks for your help!!!

No need for us all to get snappy. Bottom line, what you posted isn't much help, and without knowing anything about your system/setup, it's very difficult to offer solutions. First things first, are you sure that syslogd stops working after only 2 minutes? Syslogd only chews on the processor when it has something to do. Showing up as only running for 2 minutes when you run ps shouldn't be a concern; that is the total CPU time and syslogd doesn't need much time to get the job done on most systems. If you're certain that it isn't logging events that it should: did you make ever make any modifications to /etc/syslog.conf? If so, comment out (put a # at the start of the line) the lines with the most recent changes. Restart syslogd. If it works, uncomment out one line and restart syslogd. Keep doing that until you narrow down what causes syslog to suspend operations. Let us know if you find out anything.

Very Slow FTP Uploads
Hi, Looking in to a solution why my FTP uploads are so slow on Free BSD 5.3 version. Downloads are very fast but uploads are excruciatingly slow. My BSD system is on autoselect option as my port on the network switch. I have also tried various options like setting the network switch and the BSD OS to 100 Fdx, still no better. I do have raid 5 drives, is there an option to improve FTP on OS by some miraculous BSD commands. Thanks!!

Problem Help!
Hi, In my haste I edited my rc.conf file and knowing well that if I make a mistake I will get hung the system at that point. I need an expert help to get me out of this situation. I spent days building the system, I don't want to do the whole thing again. I must have forgot a quote in my rc.conf file and now when the system got rebooted it's asking for pathaname for the shell. I am not sure of the next step. Help!!

RE: Telnet and FTP issues on 5.3
Hi, I have been searching for few days everywhere an answer to this question. Is there a way to stop telnet access for a group let's say ftponly but allow them to have FTP access in FreeBSD 5.3. I know this works in my old system BSD OS 4.3. The commands are like this in login.conf file in BSD OS 4.3. #restrict telnet for ftponly group only ftponly:\ :auth-network=reject:\ :auth-ftp=passwd: Thanks VJ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

They won't be able to telnet or ssh in, but they will be able to ftp. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Host Name Lookup Error
Folks, Just installed FreeBSD 5.3, all seems to be working except the error from sendmail. I can ping the mail server in the domain that I am trying to send the mail. But the mail gets send to my /var/spool/mqueue directory. The error is host name lookup failure. I want to put this system on line as production system soon. On last thing syslogd does not put out any logs under var/logs. Any ideas, I have been looking in FreeBSD archives.
