Hi Prashanth,

ftp -i -n <> $mylog
open $IP aadress
user $username $username
i have given like above but still is not login any thing else you want me do..

//Chandru.C

[Dennis Handly]

>still is not login:
open $IP_address
user $username $username

Have you defined these 2 shell variables?

[Tape Backup_1]

tht is password still not able to login

/Chandru.C

[Steven Schweda]

As usual, it might help if you showed _all_
the actual commands you're using.

> user $username $username

"$username" twice? Not "$password"?


Using SFTP instead of FTP might remove the
need to specify a password.

[Tape Backup_1]

ftp -i -n <> $mylog
open $HOST Name
user $username $PASSWORD

using above shell script we are not able to login please help me resolve

//Chandru.C

Hello,

Just a thought:

$PASSWORD is not the same as $password

It is case-sensitive.

Best regards,
Horia.

or you can use .netrc file where u can put the server name user password for auto login via ftp.

for more check man netrc. and removed the
user $username $PASSWORD after entrying detail in netrc.

if it is not there then u have to recreate it with

touch .netrc and allocate permission.

Please supply enough useful information to
make that possible for a non-psychic.

Still true.

An actual error message might be nice, too.
