How to ftp some files from a shell script

[Siti]

I have 2 hosts src,trg.trg is a ftp server.
I need a script which will run once a day in src.
It will pick the files then put them into the trg host using ftp.
I saw one thread but my requirement is more than one file need to be ftp'd.

Instead of using PUT you can use MPUT for multiply files.

Hi,

If u have SSH installed i think u can easily do that by copying the rsa keys of the userA on the source server to the ~homedir_of_userA/.ssh/auhorized_keys file in the target server.This way it will not promt password and scp will do your job.

Its too fast as well

Hope that helps

Cheers
