ftp in Shellscript

ggowrish · #1 (**permalink**) 06-11-2004

Can I do something like this from a shellscript ?:

ftp 12.34.56.78 <<!
username
password
put a.c
bye
!

It does not go through as the login fails.
Is there any alternative to do the above requirement?

Thanks in advance.

I did not want to use netrc.

I have found a solution as below:

ftp -n 12.34.56.78 << !
user username password
put a.c
bye
!

This works. Thanks anyways.
