[olug] Unix Tip: FTY AUTOMATED TRANSFERS

[Trent Melcher]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have never been confortable
hardcoding a password in a script, no matter what the permissions of the
file are.

FTY AUTOMATED TRANSFERS

Automatic file transfer through a script 
between machines using FTP.

If one wants to transfer files between 
UNIX machines, here are the steps to follow.
1. The .netrc file
   a. create .netrc in the home directory.
   b. add this line
   machine <target machine> login <login name> password <password>

      e.g. 
   machine abc.mydomain.com login deepak password deep123

   c. chmod 600 .netrc

2. The Script:
   ftp abc.mydomain.com  << endl
   prompt
   put test1.c
   quit
   endl

This should do it.
