If you must use ftp rather than scp -- then look into using the .netrc file (man netrc). The login, passwd and ftp commands can be stored in .netrc as a macro, then executed via shell script. .netrc lives in $HOME of the user executing the script and must be 600.

Hi,
Sorry for posting an off-topic email, but I guess that my simple doubt is really simple to you guys.
In my shell script to transfer files, I am having difficult to do the way I need. Basically when I invoke the shell, it supposed to log in on FTP server with password authenticated and so execute the ftp commands.
############
ftp ftp://backup:bkp123_at_10.1.1.25 << _EOF_ >>/dev/null 2>&1
bin
prompt
cd /srv43
lcd /db/bugtracker/
mput *.gz
quit
_EOF_
############
However, when I try to execute I get error like: unknown host
Do you have a suggestion what I am doing wrong?? This same script needs to run on Linux64/bash and AIX.
Thank you in advance for any clue.
Alex
