Full Discussion: Unix FTP Script connecting through proxy Not working
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Unix FTP Script connecting through proxy Not working Post 302392572 by methyl on Thursday 4th of February 2010 09:43:19 PM

Code:
#!/bin/sh
ftp -n <proxy server addres> <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER '<userid>'
quote PASS '<password>'
user <remote user id>@<remote sever name> <password>

As TonyFullerMalv has spotted the above script contains spurious "quote" statements. He has also spotted that the END_SCRIPT termination line for the unix here document is missing.

Personally I would use a ".netrc" file to provide the username and password for the connection to the proxy server and then present the "user" line within a unix here document.

ftpusers

FTPUSERS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FTPUSERS(5)

NAME

       ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon

DESCRIPTION

       The  text  file	ftpusers  contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  This file is
       used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked	environment.   It  will  typically
       contain	a  list  of  the  users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
       server daemon.  Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.  If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers  then  it	is
       suggested  that	you  read  its	documentation  to find out how to block access for certain users.  Washington University FTP server Daemon
       (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

   Format
       The format of ftpusers is very simple.  There is one account name (or username) per line.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/ftpusers

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
