FTP command line username and password passing

Dear All,

I am new to unix and I am trying to build a shell script which will connect to a different server by passing username and password from a file or command line but not manually...

In short I dont want to connect to a diff server via ftp interactively.


Any suggestion...looking forward for your reply...

If you want only to use ftp, you can use .netrc file in which you can save user name, IP address & password. So that when you connect, you will not be prompted for the same.

If you want to use SFTP, them I would suggest SFTP with public key authentication.

This will work
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /export/home/xjanptak/bin/roaming/filijank/test/cookrie/
sqlplus testing/testing123 @cookrie.sql
sqlplus testing/testing123 @refresh.sql
ssh aslmuat3@s1tstd31 << EOF
cd /export/home/aslmuat3/bin
ls
exit
EOF
