Re: [foxboro] FTP

We do something similar, but we are transferring files to a box that does not
support the r-commands
(rcp, etc.)  Try something like this, for sh/ksh shells:

#!/bin/ksh
# Need to have .netrc file to automate FTP, so we create one
cat <<E_O_F >$HOME/.netrc
machine blackhole
login captainkirk
password enterprise
macdef init
put /my/dir/path/myreport.txt /remote/dir/path/myreport.txt
bye

E_O_F

# .netrc can only be readable/writable by owner, or FTP will ignore it
chmod 700 $HOME/.netrc
ftp blackhole
rm $HOME/.netrc
# end script

There are also other freeware command-line FTP clients out there (e.g., wget,
ncftp) if you need more flexibility.

On a side note, the r-commands are generally considered insecure, and we are
looking to replace them
entirely with OpenSSH.  Anyone out there done this successfully?

Subject:  [foxboro] FTP



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
