Shell Programming and Scripting

One way is to create the FTP parameter file in the Windows Batch Script. You can then have whatever parameters you like. In this example all four variables which could change are command line parameters.
Important: I don't know which Windows version you have, but in my experience the "-n" parameter on the ftp command line MUST be present if you want to autologin to work! Also the username and password are on the same line and preceded by the word "user".
Hope this solves your problem.


REM ftptest3.bat
REM parameter driven ftp with autologin
REM
REM Save parameters with meaningful names
set X_FILE=%1
set X_USER=%2
set X_PASS=%3
set X_SERV=%4
REM
REM Create parameter file for ftp
echo user %X_USER% %X_PASS% > ftptest3.inp
echo ascii >> ftptest3.inp
echo get %X_FILE% >> ftptest3.inp
echo quit >> ftptest3.inp
REM
REM Transfer the file
ftp -n -s:ftptest3.inp %X_SERV%

i have tried like

created
1.ftptest3.bat it contains only unix details
2.transfer file test.bat it contains
call ftptest3.bat
ftp -n -s:ftptest3.inp %X_SERV%

When i run test.bat i gave commandline arguments like filename,username,pwd servername.
But it is not connected.

Actually we are trying like the above steps. instead of giving username and pwd in each and every bat file. we have to keep it in a separate file.(ftptest3.bat).we will include that file in each bat file .

Could you pls give me some suggestion

You are mixing your environments. .bat files are Windows ONLY.

(ftptest3.bat it contains only unix details) -Clarification is required. Anyway, why re-invent the wheel?

Google is your friend.

I humbly suggest that if you are concerned with security, there are much better alternatives. SSH is how folks commonly do secure transfers, specifically with "scp". You can create certificates for authentication between machines. This avoids the cleartext FTP problem and elevates your posture significantly. As "scp" is inherently line-based, it works well for transfers such as what you speak of. If, that is, I understand your needs.
