Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to stop asking password while running shell script? Post 302257566 by Perderabo on Wednesday 12th of November 2008 01:40:28 PM

A password in .netrc works fine in general. You may have a broken ftp server or maybe the author of the ftp server decided he doesn't like passwords in files.

I'm sure you already checked either the .netrc man page on your own system or you found one of the hundreds of manpages on the web like this: netrc(4) (man Pages(4): File Formats) - Sun Microsystems which clearly state:

"If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the specified string if the remote server requires a password as part of the login process. Note: if this token is present in the .netrc file, ftp will abort the autologin process if the .netrc is readable by anyone besides the user."

and thus we can discount the possibility that you have the wrong permissions set on your .netrc file. Right?

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |CSI |Enabled | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
attributes(5) WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script. SunOS 5.11 30 Jan 2004 script(1)
