ftp and user/password
I know the typical way to script automate an ftp session is to pass all of the commands to ftp, with something 'like' the following:
echo USER $user echo PASS $pass My question concerns other methods or tricks people have used so that the username and ESPECIALLY the password are not embedded in the script. Some ideas are: (a) reading password from a separate file; theink $cat... (b) getting selected data from a file for password; think $cut... So, what are some other tricks for having a $pass variable I can send for login purposes, but still maintain a greater level of security for the password (then having it embedded in the script)? Thanks for the ideas. The actual code is not required, more just the methodologies for accomplishing this. |
