Connection to account "root" appears to be failing.

What messages to you get from the command line with:

Code:
ftp -v -n
open host_name
user root root_password

Where:

host_name = name of your host computer (please do not tell us the real host name)

root_password = password to your root account (please do not tell us the real password)

Hi methyl,

I am a developer here. I have no idea what ROOT password is.. So it is not possible to me to use root user. I use Developer user and i tried with it

ftp -v -n
open 179.20.251.151
user devusername devpwd
And able to successfully see the FTP >

Connected to 179.20.251.151.

The function "FTP" in the script posted in post 6 has hard coded login as root.

Quote:
user root ${pass}
Probably should be:

Code:
user ${acct} ${pass}

i do not have privilages to implement or ask unix team here about .netrc file implementation
If you have privilege to create executable scripts in your home directory you have enough privilege to create a .netrc file in your home directory. A .netrc file must be permissions 600.

.netrc file created
Quote:
Hi

I have created .netrc file and given permissions to it as chmod 600 .netrc
As it is a . file, not able to see it on the directory(fine).

Please tell me now. How to use that file in my FTP Script as this file should be replaced with my filelist.txt

.netrc looks like below :


machine 192.168.100.1 login userid password userpass
machine 192.168.100.1 login userid password userpass

To see dot files:
ls -la
Or just the dot files:
ls -la .??*
