All,
I don't normally reply to all on this list however since Kevin did I thought it was appropriate.
While a .netrc file will do the job it is guaranteed to raise a audit flag.
.netrc is a well know file and it contains host names, user names, and passwords all in clear text. In other words it tells a hacker
where to go, who to log in as, and what password to use.
If you must script FTP consider, as a minimum, putting the FTP commands (including user name and password) in a separate file in a
secure location.

[HPADM] RE: ftp script/batch job
create a .netrc file for the user that will run the job.
man .netrc
Also then instead of invoking ftp with just the ftp command, you invoke it with ftp -i

Subject: [HPADM] ftp script/batch job
UNIX Gurus:
I need to put a cron job to ftp files from a HP-UX
server to an NT Box. I'd really appreciate if some
one who is doing something similar is kind enough to
send me the script/sequence used by him/her. Is there
a way of doing this non-interactively without asking
for password? Any input from you would be most useful.
Thanks a lot in advance.
NEIL.
