Uh
I used to use .netrc for like 3 ftp servers at the 'same time'.
Meaning i acutaly had 4 entries for 3 servers, 1 been quoted out.
Maybe it was just an illusion that the files got uploaded and were to be seen on the website.
The only error i experienced with .netrc were when i deleted the password 'collum' of a line.
Syntax from manpage: sftp
Code:
sftp [user@]host[:dir[/]]
Just curious, why make a file (~/.netrc) that contains all required info on 1 line, if it can handle only 1 entry?
I thought it was ment like: you pass the host to [s]ftp, which will open ~/.netrc and read the line containing host, obviously, it 'should' check for any user parameter to be on the same line too, if there are multiple identical hosts.
Well, on Fedora it seems to work that way.
Code:
# man netrc
DESCRIPTION
This file contains configuration and autologin information for the File Transfer Protocol client ftp(1).
........................
So .netrc only used by the ftp protocol not sftp.
sftp works over the ssh protocol.
lftp uses the ftp and because of it uses the .netrc

I have an ftp user, which has been setup to run ftp jobs to a specific machine (different jobs). for the first job i created .netrc in the ftp users home directory and added the appropriate commands
