If I ftp in omvs from the prompt...it will use the .netrc file and supply the userid/password.  If I put the ftp in a perl script:

$ENV{HOME} = "/u/mydir";

open(FTP, "| /bin/ftp -n $theNode>>/tmp/ftpout.dat");

 

I get to the node…but the ftpout.dat shows that I’m not logged on...and then fails.  If I issue rexec…the .netrc file is used and I can execute remote commands.  Is there something else that needs to be done for the ftp environment to use the .netrc file? 

 

Thanks,
