 Unix Tip #4406- April  4, 2025
 
FTP AUTOMATED TRANSFERS  
  
Automatic file transfer through a script  
between machines using FTP.  
  
If one wants to transfer files between  
UNIX machines, here are the steps to follow.  
1. The .netrc file  
a. create .netrc in the home directory.  
b. add this line  
machine  login  password   
  
e.g.  
machine abc.mydomain.com login deepak password deep123  
  
c. chmod 600 .netrc  
  
2. The Script:  
ftp abc.mydomain.com  << endl  
prompt  
put test1.c  
quit  
endl  
  
This should do it.
