I am new to using unix and am struggling with a script i am writing. What i am trying to do is get a user to enter a username, check the original file i created with username and pin to see if their is a corresponding entry. Next ask the user to enter the pin and see if this matches corresponding username. Is it possible to do this by using a cat and grep command or is there another way. You can see the progress I have made below. Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
Code:
while :
do
echo "enter a name"
read user
cut -f1 usernames | grep -i -q "$user"
a=$?
echo "enter a password"
read pass
cut -f2 usernames | grep -q "$pass"
b=$?
if [ $a = 0 ] && [ $b = 0 ]
then
echo "welcome"
menu
exit
else
echo "access denied please try again"
fi
done
The only problem with this is that the password grep does not search for the corresponding username.
Is the following even possible ? by echo $3, I mean enter password when prompted for it. My main issue is that it would deal with a prompted password, which is passed from the command line like this:
./processing serverA user password

gftp
GFTP(1) General Commands Manual GFTP(1)NAME
gftp - a graphical ftp client
SYNOPSIS
gftp [options] [[proto://][ user : [pass] @] site [: port ][/ directory ]]
DESCRIPTION
gFTP is a multiprotocol file transfer program for X Windows and the console. It features support for the FTP, SSH, HTTP, and local file
system protocols, simultaneous downloads, resuming of interrupted file transfers, file transfer queues, downloading of entire directores,
ftp and http proxy support, remote directory caching, bookmarks menu, stop button and many more features
OPTIONS
You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically connect to when it starts up.
--help, -h
Display program usage, and quit
--version, -v
This will display the current version of gFTP, and exit
--download, -d
This tells gFTP to download the files and directories specified in the url passed on the command line.
user This is the username that you will login as to the remote site. If no username is supplied, the default is to login as anonymous.
pass This is the password you will use to login to the remotesite. If you do not enter a password, then gFTP will ask you for one when it
starts up. I do not recommend entering your password on the command prompt. Anyone that has access to your machine will be able to
see your username and password with the ps(1) command. If you are logging in as anonymous, you do not need to pass a password since
gFTP will automatically send your email address as your password.
site This is the remote site you want to connect to
port This is the port that the remote server is listening on. If you do not enter a port, it will default to using the ftp port listed in
the services(5) file. If the entry doesn't exist there, it will default to port 21.
directory
This is the default directory to change to once you are connected to the remote server.
FILES
~/.gftp/gftprc
Per user configuration file. This file is commented very well, so that is why there isn't a manpage for it. Most of the options in
here can be set inside gFTP itself.
BUGS
If you find any bugs in gFTP, please report them directly to the author.
