UNIX FTP script help
How do we write a simple FTP script where we write all the commands like open, user, pwd, get, etc written to a command file and then executing the command file with FTP utility? Thank you.

They go in a file named .netrc in your current directory. You still need to specify the host on the command line.

AP Tempe FTP notes using a Linux system
We are just using a .netrc file to connect to the server and a put command to place the files there.


Code:
ftp xxx.xx.x.xx
Connected to xxx.xx.x.xx (xxx.xx.x.xx).
220 FTP Server ready.
331 Password required for aptempe.
230 User aptempe logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,xx,x,xx,215,131)
ftp: connect: Connection timed out

And here's where it hangs....

Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it far easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed width data.
