.netrc file

grandtheftander · #1 (**permalink**) 07-25-2006

hello,
I am trying to write an automated script to transfer multiple files to another solaris 5.8 box. I am using the #! /bin/bash prompt and I am having trouble finding/creating the .netrc login file. I googled and the only info I got was that I should create/find it in my home directory. I went to /home and tried to vi .netrc and said Operation not applicable.
-Thanks

Home directory doesn't mean /home only, every user has its own home directory, to find your home directory:

Code:

echo $HOME

or

Code:

cd ~

"~" should take to your home directory. Then edit your .netrc file.

Regards,
Tayyab
