FTP file to different hosts
Guys hw ya all doing.by the way wrote a script which is below.

f()
{

for host in hostname1 hostname2; do
{
#host=hostname1
user = 'rocky'
pass = 'rocky'
#ftp to particular server

ftp -v $host
quote USER $user
quote PASS $pass
bin
cd /bin/rocky
mkdir rock
cd /bin/rocky/rock/
mput file1

bye
}
done
}
f

I need to ftp to those two servers(hostname1 &hostname2) and put the file (file1) in tht particular path.while iam using this script the script is again asking me for login instead of reading the username and password provided.cn some one help me with this.

Thanks fellas

I beleive you would use:

ftp $user:$pass@$hostname

do a man ftp

It is better to put the name and password in your .netrc file.
