Dear Tony,
Thanks for your response. But, i don't need a .netrc file . This won't
suffice my requirement. In my office, daily we have lot of upload
requests.I need an automated tool which will work something like this.
* The tool should give a browser or http page.
* Here i give the local file name with the location path as to where the
file to be uploaded is present
* Then the next field should be to carry the user's email address. this
should be used to maintain the database of how many uploads has been
done
* then the next field should ask for the remote site name, ipaddress,
user name and password to login, and the remote location path
atlast there should be a submit button, which when clicked should
intiate the ftp transfer.
my requirement is something like this
can anyone help me out in this case
thanks

Add the server to your ~/.netrc like this:
machine FTPSERVER login MYUSERNAME password MYPASSWORD
default login anonymous password [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The second line creates an easy way for yoy to login to anonymous FTP
servers. The file should be readable only by you because it contains
passwords (chmod 600 ~/.netrc).
Then do an FTP session and keep track of the commands you use. Create a
script file with those commands:
lcd somelocaldir
cd someremotedir
binary
put thisfile
put thatfile
put theotherfile
quit
Then you should be able to run an automated session like this:
ftp FTPSERVER < ftpscript > ftplog
The good thing about this method is that if you already know how to use
command line FTP then you don't have to learn anything new. The bad part
is
that command line FTP does not handle errors very well. So if the
connection
times out or fails, there is no easy way to tell the script to retry or
report the failure. The only thing you can do is check the ftplog to see
what happened during the session.
If you need better error handling, try the "wget" utility. I believe it
ships with Red Hat.
