Encrypt a hardcoded passwd
hey guys,
is there a way to encrypt a hard coded passwd inside a shell script basically this is my script and i was to encrypt or hide the ftp password.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
HOST='XXXXXXXXX'
USER='XXXXXXXXXX'
PASSWD='XXXXXXXXXXX'


cd /tmp/ftptest
grep -c "{0000000#END#\>" * > NO_OF_CARDS
ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
prompt off
ascii
cd /tmp/ftptest
mput *
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

And i can't let the password popup as this script was intended to be automation for a file transfer.

vncpasswd

vncpasswd(1)						     Virtual Network Computing						      vncpasswd(1)

NAME

       vncpasswd - change a VNC password

SYNOPSIS

       vncpasswd [passwd-file]

DESCRIPTION

       vncpasswd  allows  you  to set the password used to access VNC desktops.  It stores an obfuscated version of the password in the given file
       (default $HOME/.vnc/passwd).  The vncserver script runs vncpasswd the first time you start a VNC desktop, and invokes Xvnc with the  appro-
       priate -rfbauth option.	vncviewer can also be given a password file to use via the -passwd option.

       The  password  must be at least six characters long, and only the first eight characters are significant.  Note that the stored password is
       not encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out the plaintext password, so vncpasswd always sets  appro-
       priate  permissions  (read and write only by the owner).  However, when accessing a VNC desktop a challenge-response mechanism is used over
       the wire making it hard for anyone to crack the password simply by snooping on the network.

FILES

       $HOME/.vnc/passwd
	      Default location of the VNC password file.
