passing ip address as a variable to script for ftp
Still a Beginner here ..
Does anyone no how to get the IP address of the machine thats logged in (bearing in mind there will be others logged in) while they are logged in to the Unix server and pass this as a variable to a shell script so as I can FTP files to that machine via a shell script, at present I have only developed the ftp/shell script to a specific (named) machine
I would like "HOST" to equal the persons ipaddress that is logged in if possible
sample of present code
#! /usr/bin/ksh
HOST=gerry
USER=gerry
PASSWD=letmein
DIR=/uploads
exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&
print -p open $HOST
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p cd c:\
print -p dir c:\uploads
print -p binary
print -p get $DIR/CHEST /u1/excel/Kenny/CHEST
print -p bye
wait
exit 0
bye

net::time
Net::Time(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Net::Time(3pm)
NAME
Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);
print inet_time(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_time('localhost');
print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');
print inet_daytime(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_daytime('localhost');
print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');
DESCRIPTION
"Net::Time" provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
inet_time ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
Obtain the time on "HOST", or some default host if "HOST" is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The
optional argument "PROTOCOL" should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be a time value in the same
units as returned by time() or undef upon failure.
inet_daytime ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
Obtain the time on "HOST", or some default host if "HOST" is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The
optional argument "PROTOCOL" should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be an ASCII string or undef upon
failure.
