I use ncftp and ncftpget to do just as you need. You can specify
username and password as parameters..

I'm trying to write a shell script where part of the functionality is an
ftp. How can I use ftp or a related utility so that I, or someone else
doesn't have to be there to type the password.
I tried
ftp < filename, where filename is a text file that has stuff in it that
I would type at the prompts....no go.
I also tried
ftp host.do.main < filename
I can't use anything like rsh or rcp as this is a very secure
environment that I'm working in. Every box is locked down for the most
part. Most of my activities have to be done via ssh.
I haven't tried sftp, but I'm pretty shure that it's not going to work.
Anyone have any suggestions???
Sincerely,
Paul C.
