ftp

[harikrishna]

hi,
how to login to into the remote system by using ftp,without giving username and password.so that it has to refer .netrc file for user and password for the given ip.

Thanks in advance.

Create a .netrc file in the home directory

The .netrc file should have the syntax

machine [remote host] login [remote username] password [remotepassword]

Try doing a ftp

ftp <
open
ls
quit
EOF

Also, the permission for this .netrc file should be 600

Thanks
Vijay
