1. Create a text file as follows:
open hostname
user username password

bye

2. Run the ftp command as follows:
ftp -i -n
For example, if you want to transfer files from a host called venus to your
system. The files need to be transferred in binary mode and the username for
logging into venus is joeuser with a password of abc123. The files are located
in /data and have an extension of .DB The files will be transferred to /tmp on
your system.

Create a text file called ftp.txt with the following lines:

open venus
user joeuser abc123
binary
mget /data/*.DB /tmp/*.DB
bye

Run the ftp command as follows:

ftp -i -n
