Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi
In my shell script I am generating one text file and this text file I want to place in Mount point. THis mount point is havig access to Windows.

I want to put the file in this mount point by using FTP rather normal cp or mv command from my shell script.

This is in order to prevent the new line character problem while using cp and mv i.e. I am not able to see the formated output of text file when I am opening this unix generated file in Windows notepad.

I want to do FTP in ASCII mode rather Binary which will prevent this new line character problem.

My query is, is it possible to do FTP without prompting password again in shell script, anyhow I will be capturing the username from environment variable. (User name and password is same as what used to login to unix)..I wanted something like SSO - Single Sign On

Or is there any other similar way of doing this step.

1) See "man .netrc" (about the special file called ".netrc").

2) Depending on what Operating System you have, most unix variants come with text file conversion programs.
For example "unix2dos" and "dos2unix" or "ux2dos" and "dos2ux" .

I tried doing unix2dos but I got this error

could not open /dev/kbd to get keyboard type US keyboard assumed
could not get keyboard type US keyboard assumed

Well if i can Google the error...

Hi
Thanks to all who looked into this issue. Actually I havent searched this error in Google or here in this forum, and I have directly pasted this error to this chain of post.

Thanks Methyl for taking pain to search for me

unix2dos worked out with -437
