edit .netrc file at your home directory ,add code like this:
machine 192.168.0.1 login myusr password 123
save it,then chmod 600 .netrc
ps:192.168.0.1 is destination address
myusr is your login name
123 is your password

or get userid/password before starting ftp (not for insecure environments as password is visible):
Code:
 
#!/bin/sh
read uid?"UserId: "
read pwd?"Password: "
echo "Start ftp"
ftp -n temphost <<EOF
user $uid $pwd
put file
quit
EOF
# end

would you mind using expect/autoexpect command?
it's a shell script isn't it?
it's really useful for interactive programs....
worth a try.....

Dear Friends,

Please Let me know which .netrc file should I edit either in my home directory of in the destination home directory.
I need to know the idea of .netrc file. I really misunderstand it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Actually what I'm doing is the following:
1. I have 192.168.30.151 unix server
2. I have 123.123.130.200 unix destination server.
3. I need to ftp auto. from server No. 1 to destination server.
How can I make this in detail. please .
