Re: [foxboro] FTP

If both systems are on the same node, there is no need for ftp.  You can 
'rmount' and 'cp' files using cron.
If it is on another system and you need to use ftp via 2nd Ethernet port, you 
can set up a file in root called .netrc to handle automatic login and 
passwording for ftp.  It should look something like this:

machine <199.199.199.199> login <login name> <password> <password account>

(those 199's should be the IP of the machine you want to ftp to)
learn more by doing man netrc

If the machine name is in your hosts file you can then cause cron to run a 
script that might look something like this:

cd <where my files are>
ftp <machine name> < (path to my ftp commands file)

otherwise, put the IP address in for the machine name.

your ftp commands file might look something like:

bin
prompt
put <whatever file you want or you can use mput instead>
bye

That's not very specific or elegant but it should give you something to do for 
an afternoon.

Hi:
I'd like to send a file from our IA to another one every day at noon, for
example.

I know that I can to use "cron" in order to automate the process but I don't
know how to make an FTP in "auto mode" (without human intervention).

Could you help me?

Regards
