Java How: FTP in shell Script without asking password.
Hi
In my shell script I am generating one text file and this text file I want to place in Mount point. THis mount point is havig access to Windows.

I want to put the file in this mount point by using FTP rather normal cp or mv command from my shell script.

This is in order to prevent the new line character problem while using cp and mv i.e. I am not able to see the formated output of text file when I am opening this unix generated file in Windows notepad.

I want to do FTP in ASCII mode rather Binary which will prevent this new line character problem.

My query is, is it possible to do FTP without prompting password again in shell script, anyhow I will be capturing the username from environment variable. (User name and password is same as what used to login to unix)..I wanted something like SSO - Single Sign On

Or is there any other similar way of doing this step.

Regards
jc

LEARN ABOUT MINIX

fstab

FSTAB(5)							File Formats Manual							  FSTAB(5)

NAME

       fstab, mtab - list of file systems to mount, mounted file system table.

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/fstab

       /etc/mtab

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/fstab  is  a table of file system to mount at boot time, /etc/mtab is a table of currently mounted file systems as maintained by mount
       and umount.

       /etc/fstab is not read by mount as it should be.  It is instead a simple shell script listing the three devices that Minix needs  to  oper-
       ate:   The device names of the root file system, the temporary (scratch) file system, and the file system for /usr.  Of these only the /usr
       file system is mounted in /etc/rc, the scratch file system is there for the system administrator to test new kernels,  or  as  a  temporary
       file system.

       /etc/mtab contains lines of four fields.  The layout is:

	      device	directory    type    options

       These fields may be explained as follows:

       device
	      A block special device.

       directory
	      Mount point.

       type
	      Either 1, or 2, indicating a V1 or V2 file system.

       options
	      Either ro, or rw, indicating a read-only or read-write mounted file system.

FILES

       /etc/fstab     Shell script naming three important file systems.

       /etc/mtab      List of mounted file systems.

SEE ALSO

       printroot(8), mount(1), fsck(1), mkfs(1).

BUGS

       /etc/fstab is a joke.
