Re: Is their Automatic command to send a JPG file using FTP

If I use this command in .netrc it connects to the server but it does not connect using my login name VJ, it points to some other name. ftp 0.0.0.0 ftp://ftp 0.0.0.0/ That's not the correct way to call the ftp program. .netrc simply doesn't work in FreeBSD. For sure it does, as described in the manpage. Is their someone who has a working script. Thanks!!! See my example above. At the moment, it doesn't seem that you send a file per FTP, but receive one. This can also be achieved through the .netrc file, but to make sure everything works ON BOTH SIDES of the connection, try the ftp command given above where the needed information is hardcoded. You can add the -v parameter, too. If you require more help, describe more exactly what you're intending to do. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi,
I am looking to see if there a command or a script In BSD Os that will
allow me to ftp to a server automatically and get a file from another
server. User name and passwd will be already in the script so it will
run ftp and download a file or a JPG from that server. Like in Linux OS
there is a command using .netrc file and you can script that file and
will automatically do what is in the file at time interval that you
want. Thanks,
In FreeBSD, there's documentation on that; read man ftp and
see the -u option.
I'm often (ab)using a Makefile to upload (send) files per FTP to
a server, and I call this make install. You can put this into
a shell script (sh) and then call it, e. g.
#!/bin/sh
FTPUSER=my_account_name_on_ftp_server
FTPPASSWD=my_very_complicated_password
SERVER=ftp.where_my_stuff_is.foo.bar
UPLOAD=/path/to/files/to/upload
cd ${UPLOAD} ftp -u ftp://${FTPUSER}:${ftppass...@${server} *
Of course, you can utilize .netrc to contain FTP access data. Then,
you just need to call pure ftp with server name, and you can
replace * with any file name(s) you want.
However, be aware that FTP doesn't encrypt passwords. You should
take into mind that using FTP with an SSH wrapper, or even
better - scp - is a more secure way to send files.

RE: Is their Automatic command to send a JPG file using FTP
Thanks so much. One question, I created a .netrc file and put it in the
root (/root) directory and this is what it looks like below. I have
taken out the IP, user name password so no body can use them. Can you
tell me if my syntax is correct and how do I activate this file and is
this file in the right place on the server. Thanks,

You can process it with ftp -v to check verbose output for any strange things, should they ever happen. In order to avoid interaction (especially when working with more than one file), you could add prompt to supress any manual input. By the way, FreeBSD's ftp program accepts stdin input, such as printf prompt\nmdelete *\nbye\n | \ ftp ftp://$(FTPUSER):$(FTPPASSWD)@$(SERVER)/ This is what I call make deinstall for web pages. :-) This means that you could do the same as with .netrc. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
