FTP credentials from a config file
Hi,
I am using the following syntax to connect to an FTP server and paste the file.
Based on the value in the variable $Folder, i want to connect to different folders on the same server. The credential is different to access different folders. How to get the user name and password from a config file for each folder?
I dont want to Hard code the credentials in my shell script.
Folder= FolderA or FolderB.
ftp -pin $Test_host <<++
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSW
cd $Folder
put $FILE.txt
bye
++
Thanks
Ashok
