Hi, I would like to use lftp to download files through HTTP using lftp's pget feature. I need to authenticate so I did in a shell script :
#!/bin/bash HOST=http://host:port HPATH=/path/to/file lftp -u <login>:<password> $HOST -e "pget $HPATH" It works great if we expect the fact that everyone can see my login and password using top or ps. I was wondering if we could do something like that : #!/bin/bash HOST=http://host:port HPATH=/path/to/file export LFTP_USER=<login> export LFTP_PASSWORD=<password> lftp $HOST -e "pget $HPATH" Where lftp would authenticate using the contents of LFTP_USER and LFTP_PASSWORD environment variables.
