Actually, wget does ftp as well as http. It is totally command line driven,
and automaticly resumes file transfers where they left off when the conection
gets broken, much like ncftp.

I'm sort of amused at the suggestions that are coming out of this
question. The correct answer is: (drum roll please!)
expect
expect is a scripting language designed for programming interactive
responces, especially for programs that do not do IO on std{in,out}.
Ftp *does* read from stdin but y
As info that was passed to me.
a .netrc file
or
a package called expect , look on freshmeat.. most liked expect cause
can be used for many things.

Jim,
Use perl: (I'm sure someone will improve on this script. It's just a
quick hack.)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::FTP;
$ftp=Net::FTP->new('ftp-server',Timeout => 30,Debug => 0) or die("Failed
to connect. : $! $? $@\n");
$ftp->login('user-name',,'password') or die("Failed to login. : $!
$?\n");
I used to use the following script to do that:
---
#!/bin/sh
{
echo "bin" ;
echo "prompt" ;
echo "cd pub/" ;
echo "get thefile" ;
echo "bye";
} | ftp ftp.somewhere.com

Hi
We do not seem to be able to run ftp from a shell script or script ftp.
The man page talks about macros but they go away at close.
What we need is the ability to start ftp, login and get (or put) a list of
files and
log off all from a shell script
Can some one tell me how to do it or where to
