Can I ftp to put file with shell script(as bath file) ?
Plz give the simple code to do that.

My script look like that

#!/bin/sh
echo "Start ftp"
ftp temphost <<EOF
put file
quit
EOF
# end

This code ignore username & password but I need to input.
How to input username & password to this code ? Thk

edit .netrc file at your home directory ,add code like this:
machine 192.168.0.1 login myusr password 123
save it,then chmod 600 .netrc
ps:192.168.0.1 is destination address
myusr is your login name
123 is your password

or get userid/password before starting ftp (not for insecure environments as password is visible):

would you mind using expect/autoexpect command?
it's a shell script isn't it?
it's really useful for interactive programs....
worth a try.....

Thks all very much for answer

Dear Friends,

Please Let me know which .netrc file should I edit either in my home directory of in the destination home directory.
I need to know the idea of .netrc file. I really misunderstand it.

Actually what I'm doing is the following:
1. I have 192.168.30.151 unix server
2. I have 123.123.130.200 unix destination server.
3. I need to ftp auto. from server No. 1 to destination server.
How can I make this in detail. please .

Sorry guys. I've understood what you have written. and I'm totally great full for your efforts and excellent ideas. thanx again and again.
