Hi All,
My intention is to get file from the remote server, the following scripts works fine, but once if we give worng password it displays the err msg in the console, then it proceeds the further steps, I would like avoid this. I would like to do the authendication before doing FTP. If the password is wrong I would like to show the proper msg then exit the program with out executing other steps. If anyone have idea kindly share it with me.


HOST='hostname'
echo "Enter your test user id"
read testid
echo "Enter your password"
stty -echo
read passwd
stty echo

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $testid
quote PASS $passwd
cd /usr/sarwan
get a.sh
bye
END_SCRIPT

other steps.

Thanks
Sarwan
