Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

Can someone help me on how to ftp to UNIX server from an another UNIX Server.

I tried the follwoing but it is not working.

Code:

 ftp -n 10.10.0.1
quote user usrname
quote pass passwd
ls

Though ftp is starting it is not allowing me run command.....
it is asking to Thanks in advance.......

This code will work although I'm not a fan of putting passwords in scripts.

ftp -n 10.0.0.1 <<EOF
user USERNAME PASSWORD
ls
EOF

As a minimum, I would suggest storing the password in a hidden file under a hidden directory with strict permissions and using "cat" to read the contents into a variable when using it....

mypass=`cat ${PWD_DIR}/.${USERNAME}.pwd`

The password can still be compromised, but at least they have to work harder to do so.

jsmithstl,

It is working....

Thank you very much for your solution and a valuable suggestion.....

I'll definitely work on it.... Thanks

Hi,

I tried ssh with the following command line....

Code:

 ssh -l usrname 10.10.0.1

It has given the following error....
The password and the username provided are correct.. but getting this error...

Any help please.....

Is ssh enabled on the servers involved? if so you can do this:

ssh myuser@remote_server [optional command]

Thank you very much...

This is working well......

Can you log into the ssh server from the console?
