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.
-- .netrc
machine <hostname> login <user> password <passwd>
macdef mymacro
cd <somedirectory>
put $1
-- shell
print "$ mymacro myfile "| ftp -v ${FTP_SYSTEM} > ${FTP_LOGFILE}
if grep "^250 Transfer complete" ${FTP_LOGFILE} >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
grep "^226 Transfer complete" ${FTP_LOGFILE} >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
"success"
else
"fail"
fi

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@xxxxxxxxx << _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
