Thanks that worked. I tried to expand on it so it will create a log of completed & failed transfers, but my if then statement is not working. The else statement works. I don't know what master error mean. What am I doing wrong? Also I would like to record the host ip address in the log files.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
USER=admin
PASSWD=admin
for host in `cat hosts-list.txt`
do
ftp -n -v $host <<EOF >ftp.log
ascii
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
cd switch
put pre_banner.txt
bye
EOF

	 numbers=`grep 226 ftp.log`

                if [ "$numbers" = "226" ];
                then

                        echo $line complete. >> complete.ftp.log

                else

                        echo $line failed. >> fail.ftp.log

                        Master_Error=1

                fi
done

I got a working model, but might not be the best way. are there any improvements anyone recommend?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
USER=user
PASSWD=password
for host in `cat hosts-list.txt`
do
ftp -n -v $host <<EOF >ftp.log
ascii
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
cd switch
put pre_banner.txt
bye
EOF

complete=$(grep -c 226 ftp.log)
system=$(grep -i connected ftp.log)

                if [ $complete = 1 ];
		then
			echo $system >> complete.ftp.log

                else
                    echo $system >> fail.ftp.log
		fi
done

netrc

netrc(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							  netrc(4)

NAME

       netrc, .netrc - Specifies automatic login information for ftp

SYNOPSIS

       $HOME/.netrc

DESCRIPTION

       The  .netrc  file contains the information used by the automatic login (autologin) feature of the ftp command.  It is a hidden file in your
       home directory and must be owned by the user logging in, or by the root user.   If the .netrc file contains a login  password,  the  file's
       permissions must be set to 600 (read and write by owner only).

       The  .netrc file can contain the following entries (separated by spaces, tabs, or newlines): Where host is the name of a remote host.  This
       entry begins the definition of the autologin process for the specified host.  All following entries up to the next machine entry or the end
       of  the	file apply to that host.  This is the same as machine, except that default matches any name.  There can be only one default token,
       and it must appear after all machine tokens.  This is normally used as follows: default login anonymous password  user@site  The  preceding
       command	line gives the user automatic anonymous ftp login to machines not specified in .netrc.	This can be overriden by using the -n flag
       to disable autologin.  Where user is the username to use at the remote host.  If this entry is found, the  autologin  process  initiates  a
       login  using  the specified name.  If this entry is missing, the autologin process fails.  Where password is the login password to be used.
       The autologin process supplies this password to the remote server.  A login password must be established at the remote host and that  pass-
       word  must  be  entered	in  this  file, or the autologin process fails and you are prompted for the login password.  Where password is the
       account password to be used.  If this entry is found and an account password is required at the remote host, the autologin process supplies
       the  password  to  the  remote  server.	 If  the remote host requires an account password but this entry is missing, the autologin process
       prompts for the account password.  Where macro is the name of an ftp subcommand macro.  The macro definition starts on the  following  line
       and  is	defined  to  contain all of the following ftp subcommands up to the next blank line.  If the macro is named init, ftp executes the
       macro upon successful completion of the autologin process.

FILES

       Contains automatic login information.
