MySQL FTP (File Transfet without using User name & Password)
Is there any method without passing user name & password directly in FTP command.

Dear Praka,

FTP without user name / password can be done by ssh configuration. First you need to make ssh connection between two servers, then you able to do SFTP without password.
Command : sftp username@server_ip

For simple file transfer without user name / password use scp.

Regards,
Prakhar

Use this script & test:

>cat ftp_main
10.10.10.10|uname|passwd

>cat do_ftp.sh
HOST=`awk -F"|" 'printf{$3}' ftp_main`
USER=`awk -F"|" 'printf{$2}' ftp_main`
PWD=`awk -F"|" 'printf{$1}' ftp_main`
LOCAL_PATH='...'
PATH='...'
cd $LOCAL_PATH
ftp -n $HOST << END_SCRIPT
user $USER $PWD
cd $PATH
prompt off
mput Extract_File.out
bye
END_SCRIPT

> ./do_ftp.sh

FTP has a facility to read login and password from a file called ".netrc".
man .netrc .

Permissions on such a file should be 600 and owned by the user or (preferably) root. Most FTP implementations will ignore a .netrc file which has the wrong permissions.

However, use Secure FTP if you can.
