FTP Authentication through shell script.
Hi All,
My intention is to get file from the remote server, the following scripts works fine, but once if we give worng password it displays the err msg in the console, then it proceeds the further steps, I would like avoid this. I would like to do the authendication before doing FTP. If the password is wrong I would like to show the proper msg then exit the program with out executing other steps. If anyone have idea kindly share it with me.


HOST='hostname'
echo "Enter your test user id"
read testid
echo "Enter your password"
stty -echo
read passwd
stty echo

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $testid
quote PASS $passwd
cd /usr/sarwan
get a.sh
bye
END_SCRIPT

other steps.

Thanks
Sarwan

NAME

       sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]

       sieveshell --help

DESCRIPTION

       sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.	It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
