I realize this is a Bad Thing To Do -- it is only temporary until we can
convince the powers-that-be that this can and should be done with scp.
I need to fully automate an ftp transfer. I have created the .netrc file
to specify the hostname, the username, the (gasp) password, but I have not
been successful in specifying the file. I do not find the keyword to
specify what file in the netrc man page. I know I did this years ago, but
I have long since stopped using ftp in favor of scp. Is anyone still using
ftp as a protocol for automatic file transfer? If so, how do you specify
the filename to be transferred?
TIA, and I will summarize.
