FTP script loop
Hi, I'm trying to login to 100 boxes using a script. I have a file called 'hosty' which has all the ip addresses. Is there a way I can pass the password to the script then move on to the next box ?Basically I'm trying to test my password on all the boxes. AIX machines..
Here's what I have
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
for i in `cat /home/grub1/hosty`
do
  ftp $i
done
#
exit 0

Use heredoc.
Code:
usname="someuser"
pass="somepass"
while read i
do
 ftp -inv "$i"<<END >> testftplog
user $usname $pass
bye
END
done < /home/grub1/hosty

Then, you can grep all "Login failed." IP addresses in testftplog....
