HI All

Need a help in FTP script

Just wanted to be clear ,

When i run the Shell , it has to Prompt the User for host server :

echo "Please enter the host server:"
read IP
echo "Please enter the User id :"
read user
echo "Please enter the password :"
read pass
type = ''ascii''
$ftp
open $IP
quote USER $user
quote PASS $pass
$type

This wont work can anyone modify this and let me know , Thanks

Use $HOME/.netrc then you ftp will do all the username/password for you.
